The Trump Administration is trying to erase abuses against LGBT people...

From the State Department's human rights report

I’m sorry, but anytime I hear the phrase “LGBT people” now, I question what that means. Because there’s a 99% it’s not referring to people like me.

R1, the phrase "LGBT" has been around for like 25 years now

This is what you're choosing to complain about?

I know how long the phrase has been around, but it doesn’t mean the same thing it used to.

The right-wing gays will complain about the phrase LGBT to distract from the fact that Trump doesn't care if foreign countries attack gay people. They wanted to pretend that Trump loves gays and it's "just trans" that he doesn't like

I’m not trying to distract from anything. I’m aware that Trump doesn’t care about much of anything beyond himself. But I’ve started to roll my eyes anytime I see a headline that contains “queer” or “LGBT-whatever other letters they’ve added to it now.” These activists have twisted the meaning of so many words and phrases that I just tune it all out unless someone can explain exact what the hell they’re talking about.

If that's what happens, then we should all be for it. Maybe more accurate language would help here.
