This is what you need to see; We need to have different voices in this community. We do not agree on many things going on here, and it's important for the world to see that.

Today you can't have a different opinion or you're a Nazi or you're a right-wing or a TERF. I get called transphobic. Could you imagine? I'm an elder in this community and I get called [that]. That's when I knew something's wrong. We are just not solid; we are unhealthy, we are hating on each other, we don't care about each other, we only care if we're all thinking alike. We don't think alike. We never will, and that's the important part of this message as far as I'm concerned. We need to be able to voice our own opinions without us feeling that we're not part of the community.

I also call myself a transsexual, not transgender. That's also a point of contention. People think that I'm using an outdated word, or that I'm using things that aren't part of the community.
