Why is it LGBT, and nto LGB? What does being a tranny have to do with being a faggot?

What do lesbians have to do with gay men?
Gays are interested in masculinity, often in representing a submissive element of a sexual relationship, in fitting in with the world order and in sex. MTF love all these things. I'd say that gays and trannies are fairly similar and have shared interests.
Lesbians on the other hand are total opposites. Interested only in transgression, but more importantly concerned only with women. Lesbians have made a large part of the feminist movement to repress men and dismantle whatever 'patriarchy' there is. We have nothing in common with them.
Why not G&T? I fucking love G&Ts.

Gays and MtF trans also have a symbiotic relationship since anyone that dates a tranny is gay by default.
Although, I disagree all lesbians = sjw. I know really nice lesbians. :)
What's there for LGBs to do anymore?

The trans need to leech off our (the GAY(not lesbian and gay but GAY) )movements success because they aren't capable of doing it themselves
>“LGBT”
It's a meaningless, shallow, arbitrary group which never made any sense. The sole common denominator is having the desire to be part of the group. The rest of the population ranges from indifference to open hostility. Out of all the homosexuals I know, maybe 10% to 15% belongs to this scene.
I came to /lgbt/ because I expected a real answer.

Because trans is such a tiny proportion of the population that they need to ride on sexuality groups and movements to legitimize their gender dysphoria acceptance.
Literally no reason, trannies are just loud retards who stuck their shit onto our shit and now they won't go away. It could have easily been Fair Safety Regulations for Arctic Whale and Crab Fishermen, and Also Transsexuals.
We just got unlucky and they attached to us.
I think it's useful politically. I mean I think it's fair to say people hate gay men and trans women for similar reasons. Both are seen as sissies and perverts who fail to live up to their roles as "real men". Meanwhile ftms and lesbians are... strangely ignored...
So LGBT is useful in that respect, when you're fighting against discrimination, prejudice, and straight up misinformation.

This is a pretty good explanation as it applies to other people, I suppose. But it certainly doesn't apply to me.
>I think it's fair to say people hate gay men and trans women for similar reasons.
I don't hate gay men. I'm a-okay with them. I hate trans* women because they're liars. Trans people are either delusional, meaning they lie to themselves, or attention whores, meaning they lie to others.
