THERE ARE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENC BETWEEN GAY AND TRANS INTI

In his ntributn, Mr Smh argu that there are parallels between beg gay as an inty, and beg transgenr as an inty, and that both s, this should be the basis for protectg rights and benefs for the people ncerned.

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. The same pot appli to beg heterosexual or send, different sense which beg gay n unt as part of your “inty” is as a matter of beg highly personally meangful for you. Many people wh a gay sexual orientatn don’t feel like f them, or that ’s of much importance at all scribg who they are.

LBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENR – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

So only some gay people have a “gay inty” this send sense.

But all gay people have the first sense, by fn. It’s what mak them Smh suggts that for trans women and men, beg trans is an inty, jt as is for gay people.

Not bee they are bad, or homophobic, or transphobic… but bee the reali are not their own lived experience, or bee workg alongsi the groups may be a newer experience for them. E., bisexual, gay, straight.
