if anything frightens me about the transgendered--if there is any way in which i consider myself transphobic--it is the way in which their movement seems to embrace and indeed demand these kinds of linguistic chicaneries, one of the most odious habits of the Left since Vyshinksky's heyday. it is this i find loathsome and frightening; it is this that i think worth opposing, and necessary to fight. let tolerance be our watchword; let our minds and hearts remain our own even as we allow those with whom we disagree--even the most dogmatic among them--to speak their own hearts and minds.
