This is the major problem of the trangendered paradigm.
The lumping of peopple with nothing in common into a single group.
It is like saying we are part of G/L/B some of us are and some of us
aren't. Some of us are straight. This is further complicated by those
insisting that the can be women yet for the purposes of marriage be male
thus treating those post ops who are by the standard I accept a homosexuals.
Things like gender queer or transgresssors fail to because most transfolk on
the transsexual end are not gender transgressive at all and are serious
gender conformers.
