that he then felt the need to clarify he doesn’t hate LGB people.

There were no LGB people involved. When I hear people have an issue (to put it mildly here-- we're talking about a rapist) with T, and they then say "LGBT," I am OUTRAGED.

It's like someone catching a pedo doing his pedo shit and saying "oh but I totally support gay people" -- what did gay people have to do with this abominable behavior?

I actually appreciated him saying that. I thought he must know that we're lumped together, but he's not a homophobe and just opposes this insane trans shit.

Oh, so you saw it more like "this has nothing to do with LGB. We have a T issue here!"? Gotcha. I just wish he'd said "rapist, pervert, fetishist" and not mentioned SSA people in the same breath. I don't want any link in people's minds.

Yeah and I agree, but the link is still very much there in people's minds. But Ofcom calling us LGB was a pleasant surprise. Good news.
