Two of my trans girlfriends are and I watched one person in my gender group transition, disappear and I bump into her three years later at a Houston Comets game with her girlfriend in tow.<BR/><BR/>It's one of the things we point out to our haters in the Gay and lesbian community when they claim the 'T' shouldn't be a part of 'their' community.Monica Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702533200851174728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-19524832110818050272009-03-10T00:44:00.000-05:002009-03-10T00:44:00.000-05:00So... in Mexico, transgender is synonymous with ho...So... in Mexico, transgender is synonymous with homosexual?<BR/><BR/>Would the tolerance they boast of extend to a trans woman who is attracted to women? Or does the concept even exist that a trans woman might like other women? They mentioned "lesbians" but what about trans lesbians? <BR/><BR/>I went to get my hair done at a salon, a Mexican woman washed my hair and began telling me about the gay men she's friends with, how much she thinks gay men are nice. I answered: I think well of them too, but I am not a man.<BR/><BR/>I know a gay guy from El Salvador who is really nice. Once he asked me if I have a boyfriend, and I said no, I have a girlfriend. His jaw dropped open as if I'd just claimed I'd seen Bigfoot riding on the Loch Ness Monster, i.e. something utterly farfetched and impossible.<BR/><BR/>I am a trans woman who loves her girlfriend, and I am constantly baffled at how trans lesbians are so often made invisible and not even believed to exist--not only in Latino culture, in any culture, including Anglo-American.Kyría Ioánnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683342148849164703noreply@blogger.com
