About a third of my Facebook friends are brothers. And if one of them has an an announcement or an article I put it up even though the main focus of my blog is feminist in orientation.
I'm also political and do feature occasional posts about Health Care Reforms and other issues.
The brothers I know are very articulate and can speak to their own specific issues far better than I can and I feel very privileged to be friends with them.
The intent of my footnote (which may, in hindsight, have been a bit too concise) was to point out that you had omitted mention of trans men only because you were writing about women in that particular essay, as opposed to having forgotten that trans men exist, to head off any, "She forgot about trans men!" complaints. If my footnote made it look worse instead of better, then I apologize and I hope this exchange of comments clears things up for everyone else.
Let me see whether I can improve the wording of my final sentence a bit to make it clearer.
It is fine either way. I was hopefully simply clarifying that I write from what I know because it is what I have lived.
BTW I also use MBT and one of the initial factors in coming up with WBT came from a guy I knew who describe himself as transsexual to male.
I was very flattered by being invited to the Forward Motion Conference in Burbank some ten years back. The diversity of different people touched by trans prefixed words is why I say communities instead community.
