I couldn't agree more – we (as human beings) shouldn't be sidelining anyone because of their gender. Gender being something that is far more dynamic and variable than most understand. There is a reason many grassroots and student organisations have renamed themselves to include sexual and gender minorities, and those coming to terms with who they really are (eg LGBTQ and intersex as well).

I'm sorry that the press often see all these issues as 'gay' issues – we may have common aims but we are not all the same. Show respect to your fellow humans, don't just label and dismiss those you think as somehow less human. 3rd genders are often present in pre-Christian/pagan societies – we so easily forget our past, and at our peril.

No one is less human – if we treat other as such we lead very quickly to inhuman treatment and genocide – on every continent. Not just Rwanda but anywhere where racial tensions are killing people every day. Don't just be ignorant or quiet about these things – they will continue to happen again and again.

I love this. She says a lot that needs to be said. But I have an issue. NOT all who are (because of their nature) transgender women/men identify as transgender women/men. I for example, identify as a woman. Period. What's between my legs is not an issue.

While I agree that society needs to wake up to reality that the binary gender ‘boxes’ are obsolete, we need to also respect each other for what we identify with.

Nice work Audrey, keep on telling them the hardcore truth. Sometimes such 'strong' words are necessary to jolt some sense into people's minds.
