So here's the thing. Helen Joyce has a book out now on, you know, gender. I've heard her speak. If it's anything like her talking, it's bound to be a thinking book. My girl is a ten year older and twice as smart Shrier. What Helen gets into (what I think Shrier excludes) is the switch in focus from the GLB to the big T of a lot (all?) of the storied gay rights organization. She tells of, after DOMA fell, a bunch of TRAs [I mean that in a neutral way] kind of banging on the doors of Stonewall, the HRC, et. al., saying they've got a job for them. The fit seemed natural. You got your victory. Help us get ours. It's the right thing to do. If they need to keep the lights on, they'll do it. And who doesn't feel bad for trans people getting discriminated against.
