Remember when those two gay men were killed by a religious extremist in the UK and the headlines said “two lgbtqia persons were killed”?

It has been like this since some time. If something happens with either gays or lesbians like a famous person coming out, harassment or even murder, it is "LGBTQ person harassed or assaulted", or "so and so celebrity came out as LGBTQIA+ and the world is better again". But! When the same thing happens to trans people, the news articles specifically mention "Trans man/woman harassed or assaulted", or "someone came out as trans man/woman, and there is more cash in the pockets of plastic surgeons!".
