I like to ask the obvious question: If trans people were so powerful in terms of leveraging civil rights victories, why did they need the LGB at all? They could have just done it all without us instead of demanding that our movement include them.

Great question! And if trans women of color were so influential and organized- think of all the paperwork!- to solve the AIDS crisis for us, why are they giving street blowjobs for nickels now?
