Is it normal to want to drop the t from lgbt?
I'm a gay 21 year old biological male with gender identity disorder(GID) or gender dysphoria, and I'm getting social therapy (not surgery or hormones) to cure it, so far it's going well.
The LGB community has recently added more letters to its acronym, and is now know as the LGBT or even LGBTQA+.
I believe that we should drop the unnessary Q & A, and especially the T from LGBT. The main reason is because LGB is for equality among different sexualities while T is for change of gender. We are fighting for totally different rights and their ideology is different from the LGB.
These are some of the reasons why the T should be dropped from LGBT.
•Harassment of gay/lesbian individuals who openly express disagreement with the trans ideology. E.g a simple disagreement can result in responses that range from insults (“transphobic bigot" or "cis-Nazi") to threats of physical harm.
•Persuading parents and doctors to diagnose children (who don't fit into there stereotypical gender roles) as young as 4 as transgender, and to be put on puberty blockers (which are not approved by the FDA).
•Gay men/women advocate for expanding and re-defining gender concepts, while the trans movement is regressive, insisting upon claiming and codifying classic gender concepts of what is masculine and what is feminine. (E.g Most trans are diagnosed as trans because they like or act like the stereotypical opposite gender, since this is the only current diagnosis used, even used for me.)
•Trans MtF wanting to share all female spaces with women, when fem gay guys never asked to invade a female space years ago and now when we were getting shock therapy and killed for being gay. And even rape centres when they know there are women there who will have a mental break down when they go near a male stranger. (also FtM doing the same but there's more MtF).
•They're letting criminals identify as trans to get a sex change and a name change and to move to a prison with the opposite gender. When some of these criminals are registered sex offenders and murderers! What happens is we put a FTM who hasn't taken hormones but gets arrested, should we just put her with men because she feels like one?! Or a dangerous criminal finishes their prison sentences and comes out with a different gender and name.
•The guy who founded the trans surgery is a pedophile! http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2015/04/14905/
•Breaking our validity of sexuality, there are MtF who believe they are lesbians even when they still have a penis. And when they say they used to be straight as a male but now they're a gay female and force this ideology on us.
•Now people who disagree with the trans ideology are hating on the whole LGB community thinking we all agree with it, when not all do.
P.S
I'm not advocating intolerance or prejudice against the transgender community. I believe no one should be physically attacked based on prejudice or intolerance. But I allow others to have opinions because words may hurt, but it's good to hear every side of an argument before making a decision.
The trans community doesn't need the LGB to stand up for its rights, especially if we don't share the same ideology.
