What Trans “Community?” | Transgender Universe

Jude Samson makes a clear argument against transgender infighting:

We need to get ourselves united. I know there’s call to drop the T and I from the LGB, but right now I think we really need to be united. While the ‘alphabet soup’ of the acronym is getting out of control with more and more letters being added, it doesn’t matter how few or how many we attach to it.

We need to be united, we need to work together and at the same time as we’re fighting for equality for the LGB, we need to be organizing ourselves as quickly as possible because now is the time to strike and fight back. The LGB is like charging under Braveheart while we trans-folk are Monty Python knights. Let’s get it together everyone! Stop the infighting, join the cause and let’s become recognized as people that demand and deserve to be treated as equal human beings.

Trans man takes on selfie campaign to fight 'ridiculous' bathroom bans

A transgender man has taken on the bathroom selfie campaign to protest against US laws that want him to use the women’s toilets.

Michael Hughes, from Minnesota, was inspired by several trans women who posted pictures of themselves next to urinals.

Using the hashtag #WeJustNeedToPee, the bearded activist posted pictures of himself next to women entering cubicles and doing their makeup.

The politicians who want to ban trans women from using women’s restrooms probably does not even consider that their legislations will force female to male trans men into the very same bathrooms.

This is because their transphobia is driven by a deep felt misogyny. According to their belies any male bodied person who wants to be a woman must be a sexual pervert, since no sane man would want to climb down to the bottom of the social hierarchy.

Furthermore, according to these beliefs only men can be sexual perverts (as only men are considered sexually driven and motivated). Because of this the politicians are unable to make sense of the existence of trans men. Which is most likely why they didn’t even consider the fact that they are now forcing women to share their bathrooms with men.
