so then its no surprise that HRC put a transphobic transperson on their board to be fully inclusive and confirm their own worst views about transfolk - it kills two birds with one stone.

Of course we all know transfolk who are newly transitioning, believe with all their heart that they will eventually become assimilated 'men' and 'women' who buy into all of the transphobic 'pass-or-die' bullshit and look down on trans people who decide not to run from their past, who decide that even though they will never be truly 'men' or 'women' like they may have wanted to they love themselves anyway and are glad they transitioned and who accept the struggle for our human rights.

Some of them will come back to the community after a few serious setbacks; some of them will assimilate if they have money, good looks, and lots of luck; and a few of them will be murdered or commit suicide. Doesn't mean they're better than the rest or that everyone else should wait for their rights.
