There are people in our community which identify in groups which are very hostile to our equal rights movement. which are most notably, LGBT Christians, Log Cabin Republicans and GOProud. While Obama is very ineffective to the attainment of our equal rights, at the very least, he does not plan to abolish any hope of success in our equal rights movement. Having said that, I am not too happy with Obama and I frequently and repeatedly call him a pussy in all communities.

There are bisexual transsexual feminists such as myself and you have the evil enemies of feminism, transmisogynistic “feminists” such as Julie Bindel, Janice Raymond and others. I use a lot of evidence to call them evil because their actions and words against us are no less offensive, accurate or logical than the words used against feminists (real feminists, mind you – the kind that are actually working towards equality for all women instead of just women who were lucky enough to be born in the proper body the first time around) and the gay community by the religious reich.

There are wealthy heteronormative gay men and to a lesser extent, wealthy heteronormative lesbians that want to leave anyone who has an alternate expression of their identity, transsexuals and pretty much anyone not making more than $100.000 per year or more.

So yeah, we are so not united. But oddly enough, even though at times, we do work against one another, we are working towards the same fundamental goal – either knowingly and willingly/cooperatively or unknowingly but hey, if I get my rights, who cares?

We have a commonality of purpose, over all, but we are hardly going to be unified as a whole. I remember a while ago reading an article about gays and lesbians who lament the push for equality because it has meant the mainstreaming and integrating of the LGBT “subculture”.
