I'm surprised you didn't get it immediately. You've always struck me as the kind of guy who always knows what the latest letter addition to "LGBTQW" is.
No offense intended, seriously. I was simply surprised you didn't get it, like if rimrunner had fumbled "fluffybunny" or james_nicoll had come up empty on "fanon".
Your mild mockery of LGBT is, in my opinion, spot-on. The alphabet of sexual differences has always struck me as more unuseful than not, as LGB doesn't actually share a lot with T other than sympathy. Our political needs only slightly merge. John Aravosis had a very controversial Salon article about that issue several years ago, actually.
I know transsexuals exist, I feel for their plights about being recognized as the sex they wish to be recognized with, and I support political efforts on their part to get that recognition. Beyond that, I don't know much about it, because it doesn't interest me!
Big muscly gay bears getting to marry though? That interests me.
