I get what you're saying re another label, but sometimes a label seems necessary to:
1. Have a name / title under which to operate as a group and
2. To allow recognition of a group, upon which some understanding may be built.
Currently, where does one go if they want information on 'who they are' if they are attracted to transwomen? To porn based chatrooms? Valuable yes, but perfectly suited? No.
Where would a journalist go to, to get an opinion from or about transwomen admirers? The LGBT?
I also think change will be a long time coming, but it will take forever if their isn't a insightful or well considered voice representing us. Our reputation is more likely to be formed by those who object to us, with neary a whimper of complaint.
That said, all thoughts are welcomed. Appreciate the feedback.
