I'll never understand how people can say the L and G are different from the B and T.
Like the B is L and G and so aren't some of the T.
There's just no logic in excluding them
Especially when you actually read a queer history book
Some people believe in dividing sexual orientations (LGB) from the gender identity letters (T+). During my time on Twitter, I saw it was often from a place of hate, though. I would understand something like: "Although we face similar challenges, we also have different needs that justify an LGB sub-movement". But that was almost never their attitude.
The vast majority of trans folk are LGB, and the small minority that aren't are treated as if they are by bigots who deny them their gender.
LGB challenges are trans challenges
