Trans isn’t really the same sort of thing as Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Ace (which all describe sexual partner preferences not gender identities/expression) and I think that confuses people sometimes
Some jackass on the street is going to call me a f****t no matter which letter of LGBT they clock me on
Why is sexual preference even something that is visible? It should only be obviously visible when you are intimate with your partner...
When a man holds another mans hand, or a woman a woman etc. Doesnt take a genius to infer. Its not "invisible being forced to visible". So instead of pushing the narrative of "just consistently police yourself so that no one knows anything about you" why not push the "mind your own business and dont intrude into peoples lives" one instead? I.e. you can marry, get healthcare, and opportunities for employment regardless?
Also its not "preference" unless you agree that heterosexual people just "prefer" the opposite sex, but can always change if their "tastes shift"
