It's almost as if the stated goal of dividing the LGB and the TQ so that it's easier to go after the LGBTQ is going off exactly like they planned.... :/

Gods, Marriage equality was one of rhe biggest hurdles in Trans activism back in the day and one of the reasons for the banding together of the T and the LGB. It really is like watching progress undo in reverse chronological order.

History facr. Back in the before days you couldn't change your gender designation on your legal documents because people were worried that gay and lesbian people would use transitioning as a way to get around the marriage ban which was the major hangup. Same sex marriage thus made it possible for trans people to socially transition from a legal standpoint.
