Hmm, screened comments are handy, if only because it affords an opportunity to get a little closer to what needs saying, on second thought.

I've survived transphobia for most of my life, now; I'm sure I'm not the only one who undertook to drop out of view from the broader world (and, indeed, drop out of view from the few transfolk I knew back then when I was new and young).

I am saddened to see that the same sort of dreadful infighting is going on, now, as went on thirty years ago. Days are, I despair of people ever growing up and learning to leave each other be.

I utterly concur with Chiara's analysis "that the right size for a group of trans peeps is one" -- there's simply been too much to lose, for most of us, to want to risk getting together in person or even (in most cases) exchange contact details.

I hold a cautious hope for some of the people presently embroiled in the bitter fight at hand, that they at least will come to see for themselves that more is to be gained by talking together with mutual respect, than by descending into a bottomless spiral of name-calling.

I do sincerly wish that that hope will come to fruition.
