The LGBT umbrella covers a huge spectrum of gender and human sexuality that a good portion of the population do not agree with. In the last fifty year great strides have been made for some under our large umbrella.
Under the L it is now legal to marry. Under the G it is now legal to marry. Overall the LG of the spectrum have gained a lot of rights and acceptance. Why haven't the T spectrum gained the same rights and acceptance.
Now these are my options and observations. The L and G stayed united. Their premise was simple men have a right to love other men and women had the right to love other women. That is simple and made unity easy for them.
That is a much smaller umbrella than the T umbrella. For some reason under the T umbrella just being transgender isn't enough. Are you just a panty wearer, underdresser, in the closet, out and about, 24/7 dresser, living full time as a woman, transitioning with surgery, etc, etc, etc.
Regressing, using Gays as an example. It didnt matter if a gay man was attracted to a hairy, muscular, knuckle scraping man or to a feminine man. You were just gay, and all were united.
Now with transgender it seem you need a box to be put in and not everyone will agree with what box you want. So we begin to divide ourselves into "groups". Some transgender think you need to be at a certain place on the transgender bridge to be transgender. This is OUR problem, instead of uniting we are dividing our selves.
United we stand, devided we will never be accepted.
Hope this made sense
