First of all you may have noticed that you are in the "cis" section of the forum.
Second, for a moment in my life (like, the last 15 years), I was convinced that accepting each and every person's relationship with their own bodies and soul was the basic. Actually, you know what? I am still convinced.
Someone is happy in drab. Someone crossdresses. Someone transitions. Someone decides to stay half way because they don't have the time, will, push, courage, drive, money, help, knowledge, passion, need, [add motivation here] to fully transition. And no one, and I really mean no one, must feel like they have the right to tell anyone at what point to stop doing what they want with their body and mind.
Rennee Rayes simply observe reality and gave her point of view on what people could use to feel better. She knows very well that not everyone wants to feel the pressure of a full transition when they'd be happy with stopping half way. That's what the original post says, and I find it way more progressive than the point of view of those that only see 100% cis and 100% trans as the possible choices in life.
I am surprised that critiques to that article come from anywhere inside the LGBT spectrum. Are we at the point where we must legitimate cis-fobia?
