I've seen references to the concept of the "trans umbrella" that includes drag queens/kings, transvestites, cross-dressers, etc. I think that's an attempt to make the trans community seem more robust but instead it dilutes it all to meaninglessness.

By removing both -vestite and -sexual, the size of the group (and, more to the point, the activists' audiences) is artificially enlarged.

Everything to do with "trans" is about getting attention. The identity part is nothing but a pretext for outrage, which itself is just another way to get attention.

I doubt I could endure an American workplace now.
