I was just thinking about how much the disability rights activism parallels the trans activism..at its heart there is some kind of gnostic theology driving it--that the physical body is in some way a deception--that one's essence isn't connected with or determined by one's physical body.
Yeah, I'm waiting for an open thread so I can discuss the book.
"Genuine compassion and respect is based on accepting who people actually are, not lying about who they are to squeeze them into an acceptable box."
Great points. Also, the approach of the activists alienates those who don't necessarily hate trans people, but object to the lying.
Another case of subtlety lost to binary thinking.
