Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this. I have always considered the ?T? to be part of ?LGB? but this makes me think again about it. I liked the following:

"We terminate our membership in our sex of birth and end our ability to function in that sexuality and instead have enabled our sexuality as the sex we have transitioned to.
Sexual Identity is whether you agree or disagree that you are a member of the assigned sex and whether or not you accept the sexuality and the sexual and reproductive role of that sex.?

I agree, that transsexuals have to be independent of LGB, because transsexualism have nothing to do with same sex orientation, but about personal identity.

I only don't understand why is this dividing on post-op and non-op or pre-op transsexuals. SRS is maybe really final act of transition, but that doesn't make someone female or male. Gender is in brains and brains decide what we are, what we feel and how we live in this World.

I really don't like this. Why can't she express her independence without putting down other people? Sounds like she is trying to take it out on lesbians because she had some bad experiences herself. She sounds as bad as those 'Harry Benjamin's Syndrome' nutters (if you never heard of them before, these loons use a bollocks made up syndrome to hate on other transsexuals, who they declare unworthy and fake), basicly trying to make herself feel bigger and superior by putting transgenders and gay people down.
