I'm glad to see LGB Ireland participating - I have first-hand awareness of how the tacking-on of the T to the LBG has damaged the lesbian and gay community's standing in Ireland.
The overwhelming acceptance of marriage equality in the referendum in 2015 showed that lesbians and gays were at last widely accepted as full citizens, no more no less.
The trans campaign used the moment to push themselves forward as the next 'most marginalised' part of society to benefit from the liberalisation of over-strict legacy legislation, and boom! the Gender Recognition Act, self ID, and us lesbians and gays were now part of a LGBTQ++++++'community'.
All the excesses of the TQ+++ part are now visited on the LGB part as well - the unisex toilets in schools, the 'birthing parents' and 'pregnant people' in the health service, the use of force to remove unsuitable books from libraries, the omni-fecking-presence of Panti Bliss* as spokesperson for the 'LGBTQ++ community'.
It's great to have LGB Ireland standing up for LGB people, and making the distinction between people who are same-sex-attracted, and people who claim to be the opposite sex to what they actually are. Not the same thing at all.

*Panti Bliss is the stage name of a famous Irish drag artiste. A gay man, not trans, as it happens, but that distinction has been thoroughly blurred🙄
