Is there room for straight women in the LGBT movement. Is there room for men in Feminism?

x-posted  but edited from my blog in light of new findings on Trans-Misogyny in the feminist blogosphere.

About two week ago a co-worker of mine explained how horrified he was to see a “he-she” at the bar that he took his date to.  Last weekend I was walking around St. Marks with a new friend who wanted to share some juicy gossip about a girl we both know who may have once been biologically male. Now today I find a feminist blog which is openly bashing Transpeople! WTF? Why is this acceptable banter? I’m sorry but this is insane. That “he-she” is a transgender person. The girl rumored is in fact be a trans person. The point is they are people. I’m sick of hate being acceptable. I’m sick of that which is new or strange to us being stomped out and spit on, raped and kicked out.  And I’m sick of being quiet.

All of these individuals would otherwise identify as being friendly to gays and lesbians, they support gay marriage. But apparently anyone trans to weird to stand up for or something.  WTF? Wake up guys, it’s time to shut out this hate.

Demand equal protection for LGBT students!

As a feminist I demand that we accept everyone on the spectrum of gender. In order to fully achieve equality among the sexes we must be allies for to all who are oppressed by patriarchy. If you are a Trans Men or Trans Women, if you’re a Lesbian. If you’re Gay. If you are Straight, Queer, whatever! If you’re a person who is sick of seeing other people excluding those who are different, then I want you to know I’m on your side. Whether you want me or not I’m willing to fight for LGBT rights. 

My current partner is a straight male, I am a ‘mostly straight’ women. I believe gender and sexuality are fluid, not fixed and I have always said that I want LGBT rights because if I ever met the perfect girl for me and fell inlove with her I’d want the same rights that I have enjoyed with men. It’s not fair that it’s so much easier for me to love men and than it would be it if I was in love with a women. I’ll admit it and I want change.

I have recently been told that I do not have the right to advocate for LGBT rights because I’m not Queer enough. Tell me what you think? Is there room for straight(ish) women in the LGBT movement. Is there room for non-misogynist men in Feminism?
