I agree. I also think the word "transgender" is misleading. Most people who are not attuned to what is going on still think the word refers to what used to be termed "transexuals"-- people who are extremely dysphoric and have every intention of living full-time as the opposite sex. They don't know that the term "transgender" has been broadened to the point of meaninglessness to include people who are not dysphoric and who have no interest in transitioning. They do not know know that the movement is no longer about protecting a small minority of people but is now focused on dictating to everyone that all our lives be centered around gender, not sex. The movement is using the prefix "trans" to co-opt sympathy for a group of ideologues who are not at all sympathetic. It is completely misleading. That is why I've decided to refer to them as gender advocates.

They are using LGBT label to co-opt sympathy, while they are completely opposite to LGB.
