I hate to say it
but some transgender women do take themselves far too seriously. I've been involved in the whole transsexual rights scene for a while, but when someone decides kicks up a fuss, they then whinge about the attention that fuss receives.
Was the poster insensitive? No. It was pointing out alcoholism makes you less feminine. I highly doubt the poster said "Drinking too much can make you look like those fucked-up tranny types!"
The NHS barely funds transgender therapy currently - it really is a postcode lottery. If your primary care trust decides they're willing, you get lucky. But that's no reason to complain about alcoholism adverts.
Small-ed, to preserve space.
