My thoughts on this will really cut to the bone for some people, I find personally that a bit better than half, maybe in the area of 2/3 of the LGB I personally encounter or deal with in some regards on a regular basis don't feel the T really belongs, even if that T person is LGB. The reasons I have been supplied regularly is that a transperson that was gay pre-operativley is now straight assuming they do stay to their previous dating pattern so they no longer count. In the case of people like myself that were straight pre-operatively but then wind up being gay postop, many feel that I am still straight and only playing gay, or I've even been told I'm homophobic and that is why I am a lesbian. I've even been told all T are actually bisexual and that we therefore aren't LG as Bi isn't really an orientation but indecisiveness in their opinion.
