1) Transwomen love femininity
Transgender women respect the feminine gender, and strive to do credit to our image and support our causes. It is from this love that they strive to emulate women. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and we are greatly admired by these special people.
2) Transgenderism is not a sexual orientation
While the effort of the gay/lesbian/bisexual community to include transgendered ("GLBT community") can be applauded in principle, in some ways this association has wrongly linked transgenderism to sexual orientation. The reality is, no conclusions can be drawn about sexual orientation based on gender identity. Transpeople can be straight, gay, lesbian or bisexual, depending on each individual person.
3) Transgenderism is neither a mental disorder nor a fetish
Psychologists are working from the premise that only the above two choices are possible. The transperson who is happy and comfortable with their duality is not recognized. No one has defined this duality as a gift, which to those who can freely express themselves, it is. The pain/grief of the duality is often only a result of social repression and negative external consequences, not the duality itself.
