"Ever wonder why the LGB and the T are smashed together? Because before those identities existed [read: called into being though discourse], we were basically all just 'inverts". Science labeled us All as having an 'inverted' gender. Being attracted to the same sex was long considered a fault of [gender]. It was a long time before sexuality was pulled away from gender and what we now think of as cisgender/cissexual gays, lesbians, and bisexuals were allowed to *just* be gay.
"So, just fuck off with your ahistorical 'before we let the T join us' nonsense. There was never a time when LGB was separate. We were always here."
