I laughed at "runts with cunts"; I thought it was sort of cute. I'm thinking of using it in my next craigslist ad. Though I am 5'7", so not that much of a runt.
I can definitely commiserate on what a pain in the ass it can be to moderate a large trans discussion group. No one's ever happy. It's thankless, and you're a villain either way.
I honestly think trans men (which of course I am of that number) have had a lot of things too easy for too long, and someone like Julia Serano has been saying uncomfortable, unpopular things that need to be heard for a while now in regards to trans men, our privilege, and how our actions and words can reinforce trans misogyny. I think that post was very valuable in being something big and unavoidable and forcing some trans men who haven't given a single thought to how oppression of trans women collectively is different.
