see, you have to understand that most trans people don't identify as homosexual, unless they're homosexual relative to the identity they move into. there's consequently not a contradiction. rather, the idea of conflating the issues is very false. you need to understand her comments as though they're coming from a sarah palin, as that would be how she would conceive of herself in her own mind - not as a queer person.

in a sense, i think this is an opportunity for people to really understand the trans condition. but, with that very sparse introduction as guidance, i'm going to let people reflect on it rather than write about it.
