This is not me attacking you in any way, I do not think that you mean anything by leaving off the T a couple time in your post.

But just so you know, there are groups that specifically leave off the T because they hate trans people; The LGB alliance is a group that have claimed that accepting transpeople is homophobic. I've seen them make claims that there is an agenda to make same sex attracted individuals transition, just so that they are not homosexual anymore.

Especially when what we're talking about trans youth specifically, it seems odd to leave off the T.

Yeah it's a bit weird but I'm happy to explain:

I was quoting without citing:

I didn't cite it because I wanted to keep the note a bit more conversational.

Happy to explain why I used "LGB" specifically.

The data I found was specifically for lesbian gay and bisexual youth.

I suspect the reason it doesn't include other SOGI groups is difficulty with sample size and group identification.
