Awwww

People are just bigoted sometimes, even our transsexual sisters and brothers. I see this on some of the sites! I expect someone will form a clan for HBS type IV that are left handed - and right handed need not apply!

You are probably right. Even within our own kind there are those who try to validate themselves over the experience of others. The "tranziest tranzie" (never understood why those words are offensive, to me they are a short hand for transsexual/transgendered) syndrome is always an issue in chat rooms/forums/support groups.

Though used by so many of our sisters without thought...
I cannot stand the terms crossdresser or tranzy.They just sounds so debaseing and derogatory and
do not describe who I am.I may be a transsexual woman or a transwoman,but I sure am no
crossdresser or tranzy.And once complete,sure as heck wont be either of those nasty nouns either.
Then I will just be a woman.
