Put up or shut up

Why do some people believe that in order to create real change that everyone has to come out and describe their genitalia at birth?

It is like activism is being reduced to streaking during a school assembly.

Those who prescribe the 'EVERYBODY OUT' strategy seem to be:

1. Unwilling/unable to assimilate.
2. Already have someone to spend their lives with.

If everyone can't run a marathon then should we just cancel all marathons?

If little Johnny is allergic to peanuts then should we spray Agent Orange on all the peanut crops?

You can fight without a full disclosure. Justice is justice. What is right is right. Do I have to be a specific race to fight against injustice against that race?

Some people have been thrust into the spotlight (through tragedy or design). They are in the center of things. They can use the spotlight to fight for change.

Some people can be activists with only minimal exposure. Limiting their 'outing' to a select group.

Some can be activists without any exposure at all. Try the tried and true method. DONATION. There are people out there who will fight the battle face to face. They WANT to fight the battle. Support them. It doesn't take a lot if we spread it out.

What irks me is when people get on their soapbox (in the safety of a forum) and tell EVERYONE ELSE what to do and then call them cowards if they disagree.

Who made them a General? I didn't enlist for that battle. I'll fight on my own front and in my own way.

Who are you to say the battles I am fighting are unimportant.

Thank you armchair quarterbacks. If you think this battle is so important I have only one thing to say:

Put up or shut up.
