Montreal Transgender woman: T should be removed from GBLT

We need to think about removing the "T" from GLBT. Too many people, including some gays, apparently, seem to think that a transitioned woman who has relations with a male is a homosexual. Wrong!!! She is a woman, a heterosexual. If she was gay, she would have a relationship with a woman, not a man.
Trans people really have to go it alone, and stop letting so-called allies use us　 . . . and abuse us!

Sheep I understand. Lemmings, even. But why geese?

Because they leave green stalagmites all over the lawn after they wake up on cold winter mornings?
Seriously, you can tell where a goose has slept! :icon_blah:

No... they do it surreptitiously in the hopes that you'll step in them as you walk to your car to go to work. I only wish I wasn't speaking from experience.

I assume she meant "geez", however geese certainly enhanced the declaration at the end of the article ;D
