There are few people who have suffered more at the hands of transphobia in Vermont in the current day and age than me and my family. If anyone feels that the moniker 'MisterSister' is offensive or worse yet, "Verbal Violence" (which can NOT truly even exist-these are just words,they only have the meaning YOU give them!) than you folks are the ones who need to "check your privilege". If you have the luxury of being offended at what someone chooses to name their own private business and stage meetings,protests and start FaceBook pages dedicated to the discussion, you are far more privileged than I ,as I don't have that luxury- instead I have to figure out how to feed my family as I lost my job to due transphobia. Enjoy your Latte's at your community meeting to destroy this poor man's business and future livelihood.
