I hate the word (http://questioningtransphobia.wordpress.com/2008/08/22/with-credit-to-nezua-the-anxious-puppetmaster/) ally (http://radicalmasculinity.blogspot.com/2008/09/can-we-stop-using-term-ally.html).
And I think people fail to get that the point of TDOR also gives us a voice to talk about trans murders beyond the press' stupid "Tranny hooker fools john" headlines. The murder rate, how those murders are talked about... or that the seemingly low numbers only reflect the low numbers of trans people in general.
Then there was the way Heart last year quietly whined that trans people get too much attention when we're murdered... and she whined it on November 21st, very early in the morning.
I've been waiting for something like this to happen. :(
