Your ideas are excelent evidence for why LBG should be separate from the T in all cases, but unfortunately does not provide solution for society's confusion of them. In order to correct society's confusion, we should take effort to correct articles that mention LGBT+++ issues when only one or a few letters is relavent, as well as show discrepancies between the letters as often as possible. Share articles that show how LGB and the T are incompatible, uncooperative, and not a part of the same team. Speak up against woke homophobia and call people out for using their gender identity as an excuse to be a bad person.

We know the facts are there, but we need to get everyone else to also see the facts

I've started reaching out to websites who publish articles that group us together when the reality is it's usually a trans only issue they're addressing. And I wanted to outline the why because I see in spaces outside of this one where people will bring up that 'sexuality has nothing to do with gender identity' which is true, but it can't stop there. Anyone truly on the fence about whether LGB and T should be linked needs to hear more reasoning for splitting them.

Just a few minutes ago, I was watching one of the youtube channels I'm subscribed to and they saw a post that mentioned JK Rowling's supposed transphobia. They were confused because they know her to be a supporter of LGB and thought that LGBT was all one thing. That was actually the exact kind of situation I meant, and I did my best to explain in the comments. Whether they'll actually see it is another story

True. In those cases it's probably best to point out the difference whenever we can, and hope it sticks with enough people over time.
