DADT repeal will help GBL people get closer

[undergroundpanther]

to being treated as real citizens in this country with the rights of any hetero white christian male...
But DADT repeal won't apply to the rights of trans-people in the military... We being the T added to GBL..It feels like we were added almost like an afterthought,on the end there on the acronym of .. GBL..T.

Truth is if you are transgender ,DADT won't help you one bit.It won't help you with getting equal rights, or human rights.You get nothing from this repeal from the so tolerant of the bigoted people in this nation,still holding back so many human beings for selfish religious or phobic driven ignorance abuse and fear..Because if you are transgendered and in the military,you get to stay in the closet DADT still applies to trans-people..

So you better not cringe ,soldier,when you are called the pronouns of the wrong gender, and don't try to change your birth name or sex designation if you want to serve someday.If you have transitioned already be sure to never tell anyone else what your past gender was,hide those childhood photos and say it's your brother/sister and don't let your true gender ever slip out. if you dare express your true identity far ,far away from the base ,hidden from any who would blab..for damn sure don't try to 'sneak taking hormones' or get caught with traces of makeup on when you get called in...Rue the day when an officer declares,soldier, why are your 'man boobs' getting bigger..(ha ha) or Hey,soldier gal why are you growing a beard?? Deny it all,( go hide 'n' cry far away from others..)And swallow that lie.Shut the closet door if you want honorable discharge..school money etc.

Yeah I'm happy for the lesbians bisexuals and gay folks..,but I am a tad bitter today,I spent two days on the phone fighting a bureaucratic web of double sided red tape trying to get my testosterone patches refilled,(stupid fucking biological males abusing testosterone are assholes)I have been wearing T patches every other day,for the past month and my emotions are becoming more labile because my T levels were going down.I won the fight (this time)and for another year I will feel saner..Hopefully the next refill will be easier to do,now that my gender designation on my insurance has been changed..

The stress of all the shit I face as a trans-man is killing me,My Trans women friends face this crap too and they get treated bad by others too I worry about my sisters and brothers..The straight and gay bigots really make me pissed off..(DMV christianazi story for instance)and I am so tired of this shit.The few gays that act like trans-people are the problem as to why they can't get rights infuriates me.. Do people ever consider how does it feel to be the scapegoat of a community of scapegoats,already scapegoated by the straight world? It sucks,times 2.

But I will fight for the rights of gays,but somehow among some part of the GBL community we trans-people are still not REALLY included as part of this fight yet we fight right along side the GBL...We are still not getting treated a bit more like human beings,even though the Stonewall riot was started because of a trans-woman's shoe heard round the world..It is so frustrating and sad...Don't people realize if one kind of humanity is oppressed we ALL are?

How long until straight and certain gay people GET OVER IT,and realize trans-gender people,gender-queer people,and other identities/sexualities DO exist,are as legit as men loving men and women loving women? Hell my identity is a GAY MAN,A trans-man who likes MEN. When will the people STOP this petty crap and let us BE who and what we ARE and treat us as true allies and equals as we fight alongside the gbl community for the same human rights??!!
Arrrgh!*sad forehead slap*
