Have fun going through the learning process. I still am.
And yes , it's a whole lot more than 'they're people'. Everyone is 'people' but we all are individuals who fall into groups. Some groups just happen to be more awesome than others.

Apparently, your "learning process" hasn't yet included anything that would keep you from using the word gurls. I used to use that word, until some of our transmembers pointed out that they (justifiably) don't like it. Surely you've notice that? What's worse is putting it in quotation marks, which smacks of ungendering.

As for my "they are people" comment: of course "it's a whole lot more than that." Obviously, my brief reply was about the nature of his unspecific question, not an actual statement that there is nothing more to transwomen. As for "some groups just happen to be more awesome than others," in this context that has to be one of the most inexplicable generalizations I have seen posted on this site. It far surpasses things like "there are no shemales in my country."
