I'm just wondering whether it's right to hold that, since they kicked out one of us, we should now kick out one of them. I don't see this divide being healed that way.
My far from scientific estimate is that in the woman-oriented part of the queer community there are larger numbers of people who support trans-inclusion than there are those clamoring for exclusion -- especially among younger folks and people just coming out. Many women's spaces are inclusive now. So essentially the struggle for inclusion is over.
That's not to say that trans-exclusion shouldn't be challenged -- it could still flare up and still holds sway in some places. I just don't agree with shouting it down. Those are the Master's tools.
