if it is about bigotry then, then why aren't Muslims and blacks included in this then?

It's about a specific kind of bigotry - homophobic. Homophobes lump transgender people in with the LGB people and so we should unite against them.

And don't forget a lot of the hostility towards LGB people is they don't fit with the traditional gender norm of being attracted to the opposite sex.

So in summary:
-A lot of T people are LGB.
-A lot of T people are lumped in with the LGB people by the traditional enemies of the LGB.
-Both LGB and T people have that they do not stick to the expected gender norms in common.

None of these are true of Muslims and blacks, but of course many LGBTQ movements support all persecuted minorities.

And yeah there are differences between T people and LGB people. There are also differences between L, G and B people. Who cares? They're more effective at fighting prejudice that affects all of them if working together.
