Did you read Helena's thread? She explains very eloquently why it matters.

absolutely--and it doesn't--as thoughtful as she is--distinguish the v complexity of that group which is every bit as diverse as the "trans" category -- not healthy, helpful, or able to win the world to a rejection of stereotyping that is also basis of much trans ideology
