I really don’t understand at all how it would even make sense for the T to be grouped in with the LGB.

It doesn't make any sense, but the reason it ever happened was because in the past, most transsexuals (or at least, most of the ones who were open about it) were gay men. So the T was probably originally just perceived as "Super Gay". Most never thought that the T would end up being a Trojan Horse for all sorts of fetishists, malignant kooks and creeps. I think there were some lesbians warning people as far back as the 70s that there was something sus about the whole thing, but naturally no one listened to them.

Yeah, I thought that the T was Amanda Lepore. Not "Tiffany Michelle" Moore ("it's Ma'am"). I don't know how to feel about HSTS (I still don't want Blaire White in the women's room & personally I think HSTS need help being happy gay men ) -- but AGP is a fetish and should be treated as such. This is a sexual fetish and it hurts women. I know it's well bankrolled, but that alone shouldn't be reason for acceptance.

LGB don't want any special treatment or denial of reality. LGB is not a fetish. T is a fetish.

I feel like non-LGB look from the outside and think "they're all perverts." Right when LGB had largely gained acceptance, TQ is a huge setback.

I agree with you 100%. I think the majority of people at least here in the US with at minimum half a brain are pretty cool with a dude and a dude together now, and same with women. However, the crazier the TQs become, I’m starting to notice that we are being grouped together with them and people who might have been chill with us are becoming hostile due to the trans community and their constant desire to change all of the social norms of society.
