"I don't get the transphobia some cis gay folks feed into when a huge chunk of homophobia is based on not living up to gender stereotypes.
Don't blame trans & gender nonconforming folks for why the LGBTQ community isn't respected. You should be blaming cisheteronormativity.

[I don't hear the "if it weren't for trans people / flamboyant people ..." argument from friends, but I do see it now and then in essays and comments written by folks I don't know, and among my friends I occasionaly hear "I don't see why an LGB organization / movement should include T", which is related. Thing is, trans folks have been involved from the beginning.]
