Well written essay. Trans Visibility is a double edged sword. It isn't just politicians can't have all of the information when making policies, which should be a great reason not to even have politicians, but politicians are enslaved to their own ideologies. Transgender didn't even need to be a thing for a Donald Trump and his MAGA cult to try to erase Transsexuals. This erasure began with Trans Visibility.
I met Margaret Deirdre O'Hartigan in 1993 through bisexual activism. She was my mentor in understanding transsexuality and being an ally. At that time, lesbian and gay community organizations were still unapologetically excluding both bisexuals and transsexuals unless we passed as lesbians/gay. Since that time, I have never seen full inclusion and acceptance in the "community" -- yet somehow there emerged the current trend of reifying gender stereotypes to the point of pressuring everyone to publicly their gender feelings and the nature of their sexuality. Who are the people that led this trend and why??
