Roy, you've shared a good deal of anger and dismissiveness here. FYI, the trans community has not "insinuated" itself into the movement. It has been central to the movement from the movement's inception. Trans people (Slyvia Rivera, Virginia Prince, and countless others) have fought, bled, and certainly died along with gays and lesbians all along the way--even as they have been simultaneously dismissed and ignored by others outside and inside the movement.
