I'm not sure what my first post should be. I don't necessarily want to repeat what I've posted to my blog, but I should at least cover it:

I'm tired of transphobia. I'm tired of transphobes making uninformed, ignorant assertions about trans people's lives. I'm tired of them imposing their politics and political aims on my body and my life. I am a feminist lesbian woman, and all I ask from anyone is to listen to me when I tell my story or explain how what you said or did harms me and people like me. Basic human respect.

I'm not your metaphor. I'm not a convenient target for your anger at men. I didn't transition to transgress gender or make any kind of political statement. I live my life so I can live with myself, and I do not wish to have fictional motives imposed upon me because others don't want to understand or believe that.
