Frank is a transvestite, not a transsexual.

I have recently been reading some radical feminist views on being transgender (for education purposes) and feel that there is something there which should be discussed more...like, if we put such pressure on boys to confirm to a highly politicised version of masculinity that it's not surprising that there are boys who feel that are actually girls because society is telling them that they are girls. Transgender supports the notion that gender is biological not a sociological construct and it'd be interesting to see this discussed more rather than the reactionary 'OMG you said something bad about transgender and must be silenced'.

Thing is, though, the main reason why we can't have that discussion is because terfs are arseholes about it - case in point, the extremely offensive language used by AYRT. ("It"? WTF?)

And, yes, they might be trolling, but it's not that far off things I have heard some TERFs putting their name to.

I have heard some genderqueer people express discomfort with the way standard trans* narratives can reinforce the gender binary, but they also point out that one reason why that narrative is so dominant is that it's impossible to access any kind of treatment unless you comply with that narrative, because it's the only one the gatekeepers in the medical establishment will accept.

Transgender supports the notion that gender is biological not a sociological construct and it'd be interesting to see this discussed more rather than the reactionary 'OMG you said something bad about transgender and must be silenced'.

Transgender is a wide spectrum of identities and political positions including gender abolitionists and nonbinary people like Kate Bornstein, most of whom acknowledge that gender is biologically AND socially constructed to varying degrees.
