LGB people are the only reason that they have so much authority in the first place. Without us, there wouldn’t be nearly as much talk about “““““TrAnS RiGhTs””””” as there is currently

That was true, past tense, but the problem now is that Trans Rights Inc. has tons of corporate support, sometimes extorted, but corporate support nonetheless. Back when LGB activism was grassroots, we built these organizations. I knew people who wrote large personal checks to local Gay & Lesbian Centers just to keep the lights on. But now that they have our organizations and corporate revenue streams, they don't need us anymore. We are disposable, and if we become an annoyance, we are simply a problem to be dealt with.
