There is difference.

Transgender issues are about fundamental identity (man,woman,etc). Gay issues are more about orientation, community, etc.

Both are real but there are differences.

And this has what to do with the issue of separation v segregation? And tolerance v acceptance?

Gays have much harder time of it. There are familial issues, cultural issues, bigotry matters and so on. The list is long and diverse, in the same way the gay community is diverse.

Yeah, because asshole homophobes often make their lives hell.

Gays who join the marines are very different than the gays marching in SF, or the gay accountant they might have, or the gay athlete and not know about and so on.

Are they? Really?

You have no idea how shallow (often unintentionally) some people can be.

Oh sure I do. I see it every day. I have a feeling I’m seeing it even now.
