Bill Maher likes to say the left eats its own and he's largely right. The right doesn't tolerate dissent within its ranks either but it's much better at shutting it down (helps to have all those guns;/) Yes, I think there are plenty of transpeople who want to speak up more but are afraid to; hmmmm, maybe it's time for me to start researching how non-insane transpeople can reclaim their power ;)
