I do not tolerate transphobes and I will continue speaking truth to power. I find your analytical approach to refuting Marisol's pap admirable, but her position does not deserve the level of respect with which you treat it. Denying the existence of trans people causes them material harm and I can in no way abide. I'm sorry those people blinded you with their flashlights; I will be as bright and strident of an anti-transphobe as I possibly can be. If that light paralyses a transphobe, so be it. That's a them problem. I do not care. Generally, tranphobes do indeed deserve compassion and patience, but at the level of "I'm going to write a blog about being offended by paperwork" they should really know better. Strange hill to die on, we seem to agree.
