My employer offered an optional seminar to raise awareness about LGBTQ. Discussion on gender, sex, pronouns, challenges, etc.
The speaker was a transfemine non-binary person from an Los Angeles LGBT organization.
This individual (they) clearly thought of Crossdressers as excluded from LGBTQ.
During their presentation, Drag was described as only for entertainment and not part of gender identity.
And then when later asked specifically about cross dressers inclusion in LGBTQ, their response was that CDs do it for sexual reasons and not part of their identity. So No.
I know some of you will say who cares about whether or not we?re in the LGBTQ community. And here we go again with the labels. ..But I was pretty surprised by the explicit exclusion. Particularly when gender fluidity was part of the conversation.
What do you think? Are we in or out and why?
