Transsexual women are women and categorizing us as transgender, which includes fetishists and drag show performers, is a slight against our self-definition as women or for transmen, men.
The person who wrote this seems to have a hatred against pre-op and non-op transsexuals, which I find unwarranted and extremist, as whether we have those disgusting genitals or not, we are still all true women.
tl;dr: Some post-op goes hardcore L337 with the keyboard about gays hating on trannies and LGB should be separate from the T and in a nut shell says "fuck off CD/TV".

Thanks for your comments, Kaiti. I didn't want to make assumptions about how others might react, but you have captured my view quite well. There's no excuse for the discrimination in the LGB part of LGBT organizations ... I see this at my university, where lesbians in particular tend to be very antagonistic toward the transwomen and the gay men tend to be dismissive. But the most important thing is what I have put in bold in the quote of your post. And yes, you are a true woman ... absolutely.
