It seems to me that sometime in the late 00s things began to take a bad turn. Some blame "The L-Word" for introducing a character who was a male lesbian (played by Dallas Roberts. Who was perfect in the role) Anyway, it's kind of a problem, always, for fringe communities to go mainstream. We lose our fringe status, for one thing.

Of course the desire is there, for everyone to be treated equally. But we don't understand what we mean by "equal". Because we don't really want that. Not really. What we want is to be treated special. As compensation. Which is totally understandable, but when it's overindulged we wind up with what's happening now in the trans community. Balance is needed.
