Hi! I’m a so called “transwoman” and I think that you are under the same oppression that we have when a gay male speak in our name. Some phylosopher say that we are in the swarm times, where new identity exist because acommon target (like the swarm of assisted reproduction for gay man that is THE right now!) and there is not space for groups identities. We live in the time of “to do” and not of “to be”.. and when your “to be” is in contrast with the others “to do” you are the problem, you take all the shit! I think that’s important to return to speak with “our similar” instead to speak through the media favorite istance. We are persons, and we should remember that persons must speak, listen, have respect and be togheter for the common requests and support other groups for requests that are no directly invonving us. I support your needing of “cis” spaces, I think it’s an healthy practice and I think it will only make more aware groups, that will return to speak and produce good ideas. Hope some transgender person will also feel this needing! Good Luck!
