I think those who are LGB discriminate against transexuals because if they are insecure, they hate being lumped in with something seemed "less normal" than gay. It's sad and should not happen. Everyone should support all identities.
This!! It's incredibly weak if you ask me too.
All the things they say about them (weird, I don't get it, disgusting ect.) sounds so familiar...you'd think they would know better
I also hate how if you are a 'passable' transgender person no one seems to mind, but if you aren't passable yet, people hate you. No matter how you look, all T people are in the same boat and should be treated with exactly the same understanding.
!
The whole "guess if this is a 'real' man/woman or a tranny!" is so demeaning
While I feel deeply for what trans people go through, I don't think transgender should be grouped with gay/lesbian. Being gay has nothing to do with gender confusion.

I agree to some extent that transgender being in 'LGBT' does cause some confusion, however I think it's because trans people go through similar things to gay people regarding how they are treated by society.
The gays need to realize their not the only group within the LGBT community. As with everything else, it starts at home. Until the first three letters learn to be more open to the last letter, nothing will happen. Still, lots of gays and lesbians even have a hard time with bisexual people. We have a long way to go...
I feel like these statistics aren't much higher than they would be for gay or lesbian teens. Obviously I haven't looked into those, but seems like the numbers would be pretty similar.
I think the issue is most don't have a clue what being Trans* is. They think of men dressing as women, not the entire psychological implications that being Trans* is/has.
it's horrible.
