Transexual women face erasure - interesting thread

Given that so many posters said what an interesting and enlightening thread this ended up turning into, with some really key issues discussed and some strong points made by lots of posters (I particularly welcomed Barracker's refresh regarding the importance of language), it seems a shame if it drops down the list due to being full and people miss out on reading it (what with it being summer holidays and all).

And, as I mentioned on the other thread, the family background is always a highly gendered environment. I've yet to meet a transwoman who didn't have an issue with their dad trying to enforce gender norms.

Absolutely.

And Barrackers post is brilliant.

I'd rather see research into why some men are AGP and how to prevent that sexual fetish emerging.

I strongly suspect it's also to do with highly gendered early environment.
