I think it does. It takes three identities that face very similar situations and one much that faces a much different situation and puts them together. A lot of people, particularly in the media lump it all together. That’s why I don’t like the acronym at all.
It’s basically like grouping “people of color” together. They all have different experiences but the general goal is the same (tolerance, acceptance, etc).
Yeah, but trans people have much different goals beyond tolerance. There’s issues with their own birth certificates, passing, medication, health insurance discrimination, and stuff like that that doesn’t affect gay people. Personally I don’t care for the acronym. I don’t like that it’s all one movement. I’d prefer each identity or group voice themselves personally and individually the way black, hispanic, American Indian, and Jewish minorities have done over the years. You get what I’m saying? For example, there is no “people of color” movement.
