what part of trans ideology? I have dysphoria (transmeds) or the want to queer gender & sex crowd? Because the queer types are following a beleif about gender that you personally disagree with. Even some trans people disagree, so you shouldn't have to.

Gay & Lesbian (and eventually bisexuals) were fighting for the right to exist as homosexuals, when laws were excluding us. They were legal fights.The basics of Trans rights seem to be the right to cross dress, and the right to be seen legally as the opposite sex. (or a weird pronoun) Which conflicts with women rights, which the fight for homosexuality never did.

I don't use the mental illness as an argument (right wingers use it to frequently), but it can be said that the distress of being lgb comes from getting rejected, by family friends, society, and even your God. With trans, the distress comes from their physical body, or even being a member of their sex, which is definitely something going on in their head.

Also, just because two marginalized groups have a similar history of oppression, doesn't automatically mean they will share all beliefs. No one tells church going conservative blacks they have to be on board with the rainbow because of some similarities.
