THERE ARE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENC BETWEEN GAY AND TRANS INTI

Givg gay people the rights and benefs tradnally afford to straight people don’t take anythg signifint away om straight people. There’s no qutn that trans people should have all human rights; however, when to benefs, givg trans women some of the benefs afford to femal—for stance, accs to sex-segregated spac and rourc—do seem to remove some benefs and even rights om femal; or so I argue my here I want to ncentrate on Mr Smh’s ia that there are parallels between gay and transgenr inty.

He pots out that the ia of beg gay as an inty, the sense of beg a fundamental part of onelf, only emerged relatively late on the long history of sexual activy between people of the same sex. However, I thk we also need to pture an ambiguy between two possible sens which “beg gay” n unt as an inty, or fundamental part of first sense refers to beg gay as a sexual orientatn, and is generalised to all gay people, as such.
