Not everyone is pushing it, but most of the loudest ones in here are.

I don't know of anybody who is opposed to a discussion of other trans-phenomena, only to discussions that are used to counteract transgender advocacy, which is what we're seeing in this post.

...Is there a transracial movement that I somehow missed?

Cool. I'm all about discussing concrete examples of real-life plights, not insincere hypotheticals.

I've never heard or ready anyone say "LGBTQ was here first" and I'm not convinced that you have either.
