Apr. 30th, 2007 07:45 amHave you ever been told by another transperson that you aren't trans or the gender you ID as because you don't fit their definition of that gender?
I was told this morning by another transwoman who had friended me on MySpace that I'm a guy because she found the language I used in a blog to be rude. According to her I was being "guyish". So I guess swearing and not being a delicate flower means I'm not a woman? I hate being told by non-transpeople that I'm not a woman, I hate it even more when I hear it from other transpeople.
