LGB? Why no T?

[-] thantik@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Because back in the 60s-80s, the T hadn't been adopted yet?

From about 1988, activists began to use the initialism LGBT in the United States. Not until the 1990s within the movement did gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people gain equal respect.

The transgenderism movement hasn't really been accepted widely until rather recently, in fact. EVEN with "LGBT" becoming a thing in the early 90s. There was some discussion of "this being a thing since the beginning" -- so I'm referencing that time period in relation to that part of the discussion.

I see you didn't understand the question, why did you leave it out?
