Right now I'm realising some of my childhood dreams; dreams that trans, and living the cis mandated life, displaced a couple of decades ago. I had almost forgotten those dreams, but somehow the dreams crept back into my life, and - those dreams are now becoming reality.cartografiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086490510819867304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9155721930817856494.post-91758243080737822802012-03-20T19:17:32.365+02:002012-03-20T19:17:32.365+02:00I agree with you.

There is value in disparate oppressed groups joining together if they either have common goals or they are able to clearly differentiate their goals and keep them individually visible whilst fighting together. Unfortunately, the former is very rare and the latter is very difficult.<br /><br />The trans umbrella is dangerous in that we don't have common goals, society tars us all with the *worst* of each group's issues and the internecine battles between the groups are leaving us with a muddled battlefield and poor direction.<br /><br />As for disappearing off into the sunset and forgetting these trans issues, I understand you so well. Like you, I rarely blog on trans issues any more, though I still try to keep involved in a couple of support groups. Outside of that, my life has nigh on nothing to do with trans issues any more.<br /><br />Life continues after trans... Isn't that the point of transitioning, after all?<br /><br />All the best with that non-trans future! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
