I am very ashamed for ever thinking that, and I admit, it was due in large part to my own anger at the transphobia going on in the community. It's all such BS. Each and every one of us have the right to live our own truth, and be respected for who we are as individuals.

totally agreee brother...we all fall to earth with our own identities and ill defend with my life the right anyone has to be who they want to be...

dont beat yourself up for past feelings...we learn and grow from error and we move on and live not just side by side but in unity...
