208496, Why must there even be an agenda?

If other trans- phenomena exist, let them at least be characterized, defined and understood. Simply doing so does not counteract transgender/LGBTQ advocacy in any way.

I mean, does the LGBTQ movement subjugate the Black Civil Rights movement? Did the Black Civil Rights movement subjugate the Women's suffrage movement?? Lol, like where does it end.

The meta-narrative here is really supposed to boil down to human rights. Alleviation of barriers to improved quality of life. Gender expression is but one arena where humans encounter such barriers. Why would barriers with respect to poverty/class, race, ethnicity, sex, etc. not also be a "thing"?

The "non-thing"/"LGBTQ was here first" theme is really one of the most disappointing products of this discourse. It's like "Identity Olympics"
