It's good!

TQ+ "sexuality" is based on their "gender identity," LGB (and non-GAMP straights) are based on sex. I'm not gonna "gender" like that since the majority/average person still sees sex = gender, but majority do kinda understand by what "gender identity" (usually as "sex identity" in the head) means. I think when it comes to spreading this type of stuff around, especially when the average person looks in as a lurker, we gotta remember that too.

LGB and TQ+ don't mix since one group is about sexual orientation and the other is about gender identity/whatever is going on with their wanting to be "seen as the opposite sex" or "neither" stuff.

Then there's obviously the bit about women are human females (as in actual females, not mtf. Intersex women are still females) and vice versa with men. Feminine women/men are still women/men and vice versa with masculine women/men being women/men. Same goes for androgynous women and men still being their sex.

Edit: as someone else mentioned, when they bring up that whole of trying relate to Jim Crow laws or the whole "b-b-but if black women are women..." bullshit. Call them out on their racist bullshit. Black women are still women because they're female. Black women (and men) did not choose to be black. Transpeople choose to be trans or "transition."
