You cannot separate transgender history from LGBTQ history. The rights to assemble, to marry, and to serve openly in the military were built on the backs of trans people who refused to hide in the shadows.

The transgender community exists within LGBTQ culture, but it also possesses a subculture of its own. This subculture includes its own milestones (coming out as trans vs. coming out as gay), its own medical and legal hurdles (hormones, surgeries, name changes), and its own specific lexicon (cisgender, non-binary, gender dysphoria, tucking, binding). swing shemale
