T shouldn’t be a part of LGBI understand why you said this because I used to wonder why the LGBT acronym was three sexual orientation identifiers and one gender identity thing -- it does seem like the "T" is an outlier here. However, the "T" is impossible to separate from the LGB. First, like you implied, there are lesbian, gay, and bisexual trans people. But there are also trans people who lived their lives as gay men and lesbians before coming out as transgender and naturally, these people are already embedded in the LGB(T) community. Think about Gia Gunn and Carmen Carrera from RuPaul's Drag Race. Gia Gunn continues to perform as a drag queen even though she's a trans woman and drag is commonly considered to be "men dressing up as a woman" because drag is her community. And the idea that drag is men dressing up as a woman is ahistorical anyways -- trans woman ALWAYS spearheaded drag culture (watch the documentary "Paris Is Burning" about the 1980s ballroom scene if you want to see this in action). Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual culture all involve elements of skewing gender presentation so NATURALLY there is crossover with the trans community and they are inseparable. Like Truck Shepard said earlier, another example is nonbinary lesbians who do not identify with traditional notions of womanhood because they feel being lesbian disconnects them from traditional womanhood. In the United States, the most commonly cited event that started the gay rights movement in the country was the Stonewall Riots, a raid on a gay bar that incited LGBT to start organizing for their rights (LGBT groups existed before Stonewall, but Stonewall is considered to be The moment where LGBT people started organizing in large numbers and the first pride parade was held to commemorate Stonewall). Trans women of color, like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera were fundamental in Stonewall.
EDIT: for people wondering why i say this...TRANS issues are separate from SEXUALITY issues.
TRANS ISSUES:
-concern GENDER
-concern TRANSGENDER PEOPLE
what is LGB? they are sexualities. their problems concern sexualities, not genders. why do we lump T with LGB when they don’t have the same problems?
you can be trans and be part of the LGB community ... IF YOU’RE LESBIAN, GAY, OR BISEXUAL!
i think the two communities deserve their own safe spaces. that’s why i believe they should be separate.
the taste of pineapple is good but the texture is just abhorrent in every wayThe real problem with many foods is not that they taste bad but the texture, and a food with a texture you like might be absolutely tasteless but at least you get to chew chew on that convenience store mochi
90% of people who hate furries only hate furries bc they know everyone else is going to dogpile (lol) onto them if they say anything positive about furries.It's very funny to me because every time I've gone suiting in public it's been overwhelmingly positive. People who would say shit are too cowardly to actually say it to my foam and fur face.
