"Large organizations, splatteringly inclusive research studies, and vague gay-friendly position papers love to trot out "LGBT" all the time. A lot of time they even spell it out, "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender." It's such a ridiculously common phrase now that it's turned into noise obscuring signals; you can search for "transgender" on Google, on various websites, or in long documents put out by gay orgs, and sometimes half the hits you get are for this phrase."
