I really wish people would stop lumping the T in with lesbians, and the B and G as well. "LGBT rights" is kind a meaningless term given that the mainstream trans agenda involves special rights that do not even apply to the rest of us.

And I hope someone has schooled this youngster on the female-specific sexual violence and harassment she'll risk in male spaces.

Prior to the election, whichever dept always seem to take the side of whomever will win, likely out of fear of losing funding.

I think partisanship comes second to career.

In what way, shape, or form?

At the risk of getting reported again, I have heard that lesbians don't like men, who dress as women.

They see it as a form of cultural appropriation.
