Some scary facts

[ila]

I would like to wade into the ongoing controversy here. There are too many points raised to address each one individually so I'll reply generally.

First I would like to say that Bionca doesn't despise or hate all men. Anyone who gets to know Bionca will know that she has a very good relationship with men. A reading of her posts and her blog shows that she is consistent in what she says. Bionca has said that she does not like the cowards who date transwoman and then deny that they know the woman, will not defend them, are afraid to be seen with them, and assault the women that they say they care about. Bionca has every right to feel this way about cowards.

As men we cannot even come close to understanding what transwomen go through every minute of every day. We should show more sensitivity and understanding. And most of all it's time we stood up for transwomen each and every day.

I have great respect for every transwoman. Surely the men on this site can help in every little way possible. Start by acknowledging Transgender Day of Remembrance. Stand up for transwomen every time you hear derogatory comments about them (I do now and I'm happy to do so). Talk about trans issues when you can (I do that too). You will be surprised how much your friends and co-workers are willing to listen.
