San Fran State U <| sep |> Early on , before Stonewall , there wasn ' t much of a distinction drawn between LGB people , particularly LGB men , and trans women . The idea that someone might just be attracted to men and not be particularly feminine at all was much more radical than it is today , even within the LGBT community itself . So the two movements back then were really pretty much one movement . Nowadays , both sides have been much more successful at drawing the distinction , but because of their shared history together and the fact that nearly all LGB people are at least transsympathetic and vice versa , there ' s not really much pressure to separate . Most of it comes from the parts of the T side who think that the LGB side isn ' t supporting the T side enough .
