I have had a similar experience with a local LGBT group. The fact is that the "T" people are far too often treated like the red headed step children of the bunch and we are the first to get thrown under that proverbial bus, even when "L", "G", or "B" also happens to apply to us. A few months ago I ripped an older gay guy a new a*hole for telling me how now that he can marry his partner that he no longer has to worry about anything and can finally stop being an activist. I told him that because I am part of the "T", I necessarily have his back, and he should keep up the fight for everyone else, especially becuse trans rights are pretty far behind those of the LGB. His reply was, "I honestly don't care much because I don't have a horse in that race. Sorry." I told him what a pathetic sniveling loser he was and because of that alone, he was not worthy of marriage, let alone having a partner in the first place.
