If you think gay men are ignorant of Trans women, ask a typical one about Trans men -- hell, ask a lesbian woman about Trans women or Trans men. Of course, I've noticed a slightly higher number of gay men seemingly sympathetic toward Trans men and lesbians sympathetic toward Trans women, but yeah... To a certain extent, the post-Stonewall "assimilation" of GLBT culture has led to the GLB quadrants getting as ignorant as anybody else about the T. It's sort of sad, really.
