Overview
If you still think trans people are marginalized, look at this list of holidays they have coerced institutions into respecting for them (yes, “coerced”; one organization even SUED THE MAYOR OF A TOWN FOR HIS PERSONAL POSSESSIONS FOR NOT RECOGNIZING AN OBSERVANCE AND WON). No other modern identity-based movement in the world has anywhere near as many observances that are collectively recognized or promoted by Western governments, NGOs, schools, universities, corporations, and international institutions. The number of LGBT-related observances is unprecedented.
These observances serve as ideological rituals of dominance. It is worth noting that there are observances on this list that are NOT related to transness, but no other individual group has as many days. Plus as long as the T is part of the mainstream framing (LGBT(Q(+)), any cultural power the main group gets helps the trans cult. This is why the notion of LGB without the T is necessary.
