I realized the problem began with the fact that adjectives are
mostly required of the less powerful. Thus, there are “novelists” and
“female novelists,” “African-American doctors” but not “European-
American doctors,” “gay soldiers” but not “heterosexual soldiers,”
“transgender activists” but not “cisgender activists.”
- Gloria Steinem
Feminists mentioning trans, is another unique topic from Clare. In this post, she has a lot to say about an article by Gloria Steinem, and relates it to homophobia, transphobia, and even gender reassignment surgery. It's a relatively short, and very readable post.
