to be lgbt is to be or act with regards to gender in ways that society views as deeply deviant and subversive, and has historically categorized together as a special kind of deviance. according to cis heteropatriarchy, trans people are the wrong gender, and act in wrong gendered ways, relative to their birth assignment, and gay and bi people are attracted to the wrong genders for them and have wrong gendered relations with other people. the common theme of gender here is not an accident; it is not coincidental; it is the basis of lgbt people’s oppression. it is the system whose rules we are punished for breaking.
