TS people don't identify as TG anymore
A big problem with the idea that TS people no longer identify as TG is that it's a demonstrably fallacious idea. The National Gay & Lesbian Task Force recently published the largest American trans study ever with more than 6,000 respondents. In this study, they actually asked how we self-identify. Care to guess how many self-identified with the term "transgender"? Ninety percent. Yup; as in almost everyone but a small minority.

I'm locking this one, too, at least temporarily. There's been too much strife about all of this lately.
