How was trans ever added onto LGB ?

Reading some of the schools advice on trans from Allsorts, it occurred to me that the only way transactivist propaganda has been so successful is because it has piggybacked in on gay and lesbian rights literature. Alone, it sounds so unhinged that it would never have gained traction. On the end of LGB it sounds respectable, it gets shedloads if funding, and it makes people feel automatically more accepting.

For schools, who very much want to support pupils and stop bullying, the trans stuff added on is very clever. It means they don’t question the agenda. Yet trans is nothing like LGB, it isn’t a sexual orientation, it has more in common with a religion. It actively undermines homosexuality. I know that some lesbians have been calling this out for some time, but there seem very few gay men. I don’t understand why ? The gay male friends I’ve had in the last were very vocal and certainly would not take kindly to being told they are bigots if they won’t shag vagina people. Is it because it is a women’s rights issue? It doesn’t affect them so they don’t care ? Why was trans ever added to LGB, is that through Stonewall ?

SirVixofVixHall We share the same concerns an I do wonder what is the agenda of those who accept Ian huntley and fear it will hurt all those on the trans spectrum, I have grave concerns over self ID due to a local man who was arrested for baby porn. Just before his release he was magically trans and new name and identity. Long story short he was finally identified in press in relation to the case. My concern is those that seek to validate paedophilia are using trans ID as their trojan horse.

Yes, it is really concerning.

The parasite severs the blood vessels in the fish's tongue, causing the tongue to fall off. I think that might be a perfect metaphor for the silencing of women in this debate.

Yes.

This 2013 article linked on another thread reminds me of the parasite tongue speaking for feminists. www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/jan/18/trans-feminist-panel
