Do you think that the T in LGBTQ+ should be separated from the group?

Allow me to explain my reasoning.

"LGB" deal with sexual/romantic attraction. And "Q" i simply questioning these things.

However, "T" deals with gender/sexual identity. This is extremely different from the others and more complicated to understand.

Plus, a transgender individual could still be heterosexual, which kills the LGB concepts.

All i'm saying is that these groups should be separated so that the progress of each concept doesn't hinder the other and proper support can be given to each.

I most definitely do not think they should be separate. Trans people were fighting right along side lesbian, gay and bisexual people to get the rights we have now, and they have every right to be included. To exclude them would be to make them have to start over. They earned their place in the LGBTQ+ community, often with their own blood. I'll never kick them out. Never.

@thedevilsdagger But behind closed doors they treat us worse than the xtians do.

@NativeOregonian Who treats who worse? I'm confused.

@NativeOregonian From what I've seen, trans people tend to get fucked over a lot. I think we should work to improve this. We're all on the same side, for fuck's sake.

@thedevilsdagger Gay men and butch lesbians treat us Transpeople like lepers and exclude us from leadership positions at conferences constantly. Even some femme lesbians are known to shit on us.

@thedevilsdagger So the community wants the straight world to think, but the reality behind closed doors is much different.

@NativeOregonian It really, really shouldn't be that way. I've seen as well that it is, and I apologise, and I try to do my part to help that. They don't get what it's about. Trans people are a very large part of the backbone of the community, and should be recognised as such.

@thedevilsdagger I am glad you are one of our advocates, I wish there were way more others like you 🤗

@NativeOregonian 🤗 I wish others would wake the fuck up. I wish the world would wake the fuck up.

@thedevilsdagger I completely agree. What biomedical researchers are finding out is that hormones in our food is the main cause for Transgenderism, indroduced during gestation from our mothers. Secondary is blamed on chromosonal abnormalities .

@NativeOregonian From what I'm to understand, it's actually in the brain as well. I highly suspect that my brain is wired differently than "normal". Sometimes, I am cis, but a lot of the time, I'm agender. I didn't know that (agender) was even a thing until recently. I thought I was "weird", but that didn't bother me because I've always been "weird", and proud of it. Sometimes I want my chest to go away, though. Really. Really. Bad. Probably tmi.
