I have a serious activist streak, and as I transition I am drawn to doing more, as I see just how screwed up some parts of society are about this. (And as Anji said, the British and toilets eh?! We as a country are just so frightened of all things genital)<BR/><BR/>One thing...and it has to be said. <BR/><BR/>We should not be part of the so called LGB (or GLB or whatever) movement.<BR/><BR/>Movements which support people's right to SEXUAL identity are not the place to be for those who want the right to claim their GENDER identity. We have been bolted on to this movement, because some kind hearted souls in the Gay movement took pity on us 20 years ago, but it's not the place for us.<BR/><BR/>I am not gay. I am a heterosexual woman. <BR/><BR/>It's time we broke free of this, as is happening in the US, and finally established our own clear, vocal, identity. <BR/><BR/>As you say...grrrrrr....<BR/><BR/>BIG ggrrrrrr....<BR/><BR/>PS On a more optimistic note, this months Diva magazine is an issue on 'gender' with a lot of thoughtful supportive stuff in from a lesbian perspective. <BR/><BR/>PPS I was thinking of going to the march too. Unlike you, I'm kinda glad I didn't, because I WOULD have got arrested!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356965133404249244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-25309918091788161652008-07-08T08:28:00.000+01:002008-07-08T08:28:00.000+01:00It's not just the sanctity of loos, so much as tha...It's not just the sanctity of loos, so much as that natural instinct to say "You can't do that kind of thing here" in people in bossy jobs. And ability to dehumanise. And... grrrr...<BR/><BR/>...anyway, some good is coming out of this; the Met are making sure that their LGBT liaison officers (who are, as I understand it, chiefly either L or G (though rarely both...))are properly informed about T stuff and the law.Dru Marlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697874363783821382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-41268159327145253722008-07-07T13:07:00.000+01:002008-07-07T13:07:00.000+01:00I can't believe I read that.
