Not controversial

I watched part of a talk by Julia Serano which dealt with the accusation that transsexuals were deliberately reinforcing the gender binary. This is actually true but then it's inadvertent since transsexuals are all about identity. 

Once they transition their expression is as varied as anyone else's. In other words, some are ultra-feminine while others live perennially in a T-shirt and jeans and don't wear a stitch of makeup unless they absolutely have to. 

The fact that this should spark any controversy especially within the world of gender variance is surprising because if we understand the differences between identity and expression, the question should be immediately settled. 

Plenty of people who don't have core identity questioning can have a wide range of expression. However, settling a disconnect of core identity is something else entirely. 

I understand the general public being confused, but gender variant people should know better.

There are politics everywhere.
