if you are a person who believes that everyone has the right to express themselves as they see fit, a man as a woman, a woman as a cat, a trans man as a dump truck driving down I-70; then you also have to respect other's right to not be bothered with anything you got going on. if they can clearly see you as a man in drag, they aren't obligated to call you ma'am. if they know you are a woman, they shouldn't be reprimanded for not leaving a bowl of milk out for you. we don't need to fight for trans rights because they aren't some new class of people. they are the same old people doing newly dumb and ridiculous things and asking, no telling, no forcing the world to acknowledge, agree and play along with it. and that's where I firmly get off the ride.
