A lot of people who are speaking about trans issues and who are trying to understand the young people who are identifying as trans, they think it's kind of something similar to being gay.
An awful lot of people know the history, the dreadful history of gay people.
They remember how they were subjected to barbaric treatments and how people forced them to try to be straight and there were some awful treatments like electric convulsive therapy and there was compelled watching of porn and none of it worked.
It was barbaric and it really ruined people's lives and that is the history of being gay. And an awful lot of people have equated that somehow with being trans.
In many ways, it could be because the T was added to the LGB.
It was in around about 1989.
The reason for this was there was an affinity between the two groups and there's a lot of writing around this and a lot of study, but effectively the lesbian, gay, and bisexual community presumed that it made sense to add in the T because they were hanging around in similar circles.
And the T might have been more concerted and purposeful because it made an awful lot of benefits for them. And so they added it in with LGBT.
I remember when it happened.
I remember people going, 'What are you talking about? They're very similar.'
And I'm like, 'No, they're not. If you give it some thought, they're not.'
And so I'd like to just outline the differences.
You know, being gay is a relationship with other people.
It's about your attraction to other people.
It's about your desire to be attractive to other people.
It's about you relating to the world, maybe looking for a pair bond, which is a crucial aspect of being human, looking for a mate, you know, looking for a comrade.
