We both defy the rigid boxes society tries to put us in. The "Drop the T" Movement: A Dangerous Myth In recent years, a fringe group has pushed the "LGB without the T" narrative, arguing that trans issues are separate from sexuality issues. Most LGBTQ historians and advocates fiercely reject this.
You might have heard the term "TERF" (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist) or seen dating app profiles that say "No trans, please." There is a painful history of cisgender (non-trans) gay men and lesbians excluding trans people from gay bars or sporting events.
