A non-trans lesbian acquaintance recently asked, "Why are trans people so transient in the LGBT community?"

She runs a program at an LGBT center, and she said that trans participants seem to come and go in her program as well as in other programs that the center provides. She wondered if this kind of off-again, on-again participation was unique to the trans community, because she was not seeing the same kind of in-and-out stuff with gay and lesbian participants.
