Glenn FleishmanSingling out a group of people and claiming they don't exist is called genocide. In the U.S., it's called “Republican-led legislation.” To many behind the times who think there are suddenly more trans people, it's rather that trans people have more visibility. For the first time (in our culture) people with a gender expression that doesn't fit their bodies feel *juuuuuuust* comfortable enough saying so. This terrifies people who are *uncomfortable with anything that challenges the status quo.*
Daniel Martin@glennf we have an endless appetite for “them”. That said, I thought this was a big joke but I was out walking with a nice guy and he asked me what I thought about transsexuals. I said what people want to do and who they want to do it with is up to them, it’s none of my business. It wasn’t the answer he was hoping for and he was genuinely concerned about “them” in our government.
