Well, I think that's with all women. We're sexualized in our community. We're not taken seriously by the main population. Often, our population is fetishized on TV, so that's what people see.
I know when I am out with my partner I am approached all the time by people in a bar or in a restaurant. They say very sexually inappropriate things to us because we are women and because we are queer women.
I think that a lot of times the focus, historically—and not that it should be, but it has—has been on gay men's health and there hasn't been a lot of talk about queer women's health.
Our movement has moved in a very precarious way. Our movement started with transwomen of colour and then the gay rights movement happened, and now we're back 20 years with the trans population again. Women's rights go along with our community, like feminism. It is embedded through every oppressed population.
