I often hear said to me when I am out in the community, or read in comments and articles placed before me on blogs and in magazines and newspapers, a comment from some people who think that they have nothing in common with trans people a certain argument that I find somewhat humorous at best.

It breaks down, basically, to the idea that trans people are about one thing, and the LGB is about sexual orientation (although, when it comes to the B, the LGB is really about being gay enough or lesbian enough in practice as we've seen recently).

And with that idea in mind, I'm going to tell ya'll about something you may not realize, so that you might see that trans is, in fact, about sexual orientation.
