As regards the T, a lot of T people are homosexual or bisexual (ie transwomen attracted to women and transmen attracted to men). With those that aren't, they are still often labelled as gay by others and receive the same discrimination that gay people often get - it's not unusual for people to call trans people "super gay", or "gays in denial" or "gay people trying to trick straight people". While these labels are inaccurate, that does not stop the homophobic abuse trans people receive. This is the common cause between them. It's not that T is an expression of sexual identity, it's that T people often get abuse from others similar to that which LGB people receive. Q is generally for people who don't fit nicely into any of the other brackets but are still subject to homophobic abuse due to not fitting gender and sexual norms. Bigotry aside, and many people suffer forms of bigotry and it doesn't have to be sexuality related, transgenders are not comfortable with the sex they are born with. Homosexuality is about appreciating, embracing and feeling comfortable with the gender one is familiar with. TG gives out mixed signals about homosexuality and others start to believe that gays are just wanting to be like females and dress up in drag and be campy. This is not representative of the entire homosexual population and if it is about bigotry then, then why aren't Muslims and blacks included in this then? Do gay Muslims and gay blacks have to then suffer a double whammy of bigotry and prejudice? The LGB community is about homosexuality and that is where it should stand and cut off. The rest of the confused sexual beings, can go and form their own community while they figure themselves out. I'm not interested. |
