So.... upon further thought - and after reading all of these awesome responses, I should have probably titled this post differently.

I understand why the Ts are part of the LGBT movement.

I don't mean to marginalize Trans people (or anyone for that matter) further by trying to break them apart.

I guess I was trying to look further - maybe look at the next step where LGBT folks no longer have to fight for basic rights and even survival - but the next phase when they can begin to focus on some of the nuance of what it means to be Trans that differ from the LGB movement.

Hmmm... it's kinda hard to put all of my thoughts and feelings into these comments while I'm at work. (who does my boss think he is anyway - expecting me to finish stuff while I'm at WORK :-P) I just envision this place, in the not-to-distant future where people can be who they want and love who they want and marry who they want with no fear of actual persecution, violence, discrimination, etc. There will always be haters... there will be people who civilly disagree with lifestyle choices... but I can hope.

blergh. then we'll move on to world peace.
