June is pride month! The T often gets forgotten or excluded in the LGBT community. How included do you feel?

It depends on who I'm in the company of. Often I feel like an afterthought. Many lesbians describe themselves as "attracted to women" but they don't intend to include trans women when they say that, and say things like "you know what I meant" when brought up on it.
Other times, I feel like a valued and celebrated member/demographic of a vibrant community. Places like here, and with my friends, and in the company of other trans and gnc folk, I feel belonging.
Ugh yeah, when I messaged a trans woman online dating shed usually heavily stress she was trans because she was so used to women bailing. It's so disappointing.
Its really hurtful :( at least I'm not dating men, so its at least somewhat safe for me to disclose I am trans
Yes that's true. Lower chance of being attacked or fetishised. Sad but true
