So I think transmen should talk about the complexities of their lives and we should listen. I also think transmen should listen to what women are saying about living as a woman in a sexist world. Hopefully we can learn from each other, have fun hanging out together and help each other out where we can.

I love this last paragraph. It definitely strikes a cord for me. I am lucky that my husband is also a feminist. He is very proactive in women's Issues and equality for women. He has helped me raise two very strong, feminist daughters. He has helped me empower them, and he has helped me empower myself. I am grateful for that every day. He has not forgotten the community where he spent a large portion of his adult life. He oftens speaks out and stands up for the rights of all those in the GLBTQIAA community, not just the T. I believe what affects one of us, affects us all.
