And this was why Gay Liberation in the early 70s wisely distanced itself from trans issues, but 20 years later, we had forgotten the lesson we learned.

The success of LGB lobby groups at getting horrible laws changed. They saw it, wanted it, and decided to infiltrate and piggy back.

Via all the damn straight-fetishist "trans" people, and Queer Theorists, pushing this crackpot "gender identity" drivel. Which, I think, LGB individuals-- and especially organizations-- mistook for a critique of gender itself. And, because gender is the basis for our oppression as same-sex-attracted people, they welcomed all the gender-identity proponents in. Not realizing that this was the same old poison, just repackaged.
