"Invisibility doesn't win political rights or anti-discrimination laws. It's in the whole LGBT community's interest to work on anti-trans violence, because it's the same thing that's fueling anti-LG violence: antipathy to those who don't toe society's gender rules." -- Loree Cook-Daniels, quoted in "How the Gay Community Is Complicit in Trans Violence", by Joseph Erbentraut, 2009-10-05

It's in EVERYONE's interests to work against violence of any sort to any innocent group! & not just because "it's the right thing to do" - but because people who are allowed to attack gays or transvestites will then turn their hatred onto any group they want. Yes, that's the pragmatic view, but not everyone does what s/he should for the right reasons.

You'd think that'd be obvious to more people, but a lot of people seem to need explanations tailored to them. *sigh*
