Because of the casual stereotyping, generalisation and sexism of comments such as “cis men are unsafe” I certainly am not interested in building bridges with the separatist elements of the trans community.

There’s a bit of waffle going on here amongst some rather good points, a lot of (cis) homosexual men have very healthy mutually supportive life long relationships with (cis) Woman both heterosexual & lesbian, a Lot of us (cis) homosexual males have experienced sexual assault or rape many repeatedly over the course of our life times, there’s probably a lot more empathy for trans people than is credited here, yes you can speak from your own experience but it’s not wise to project a determination over an entire ‘community’ of people just as we are often lectured to like wise consider by ‘progressives’ with certain frequently news worthy monotheist communities.
Sexually Active Homosexual men tend to ‘like the plumbing to work’ you don’t think men who have suffered from prostrate issues or erectile disfunction don’t have their personal issues around rejection, just as (cis) heterosexual woman do who can’t have children, automatically rejected for relationships, we live in an imperfect world

Sexual assault is not very common at gay sites at all – are you people for real ? .

Wow – just “thank you”. As a cisgender gay man who overlaps with the BDSM community, I do participate in navigating the creation of inclusive spaces, and having deep articles/interviews like this are so helpful in preparing our minds and spirits to engage and validate the fullness of our Trans brothers’ experience.
