A transgender person can be gay, straight, bisexual, or asexual. For example, a trans woman who loves men is heterosexual; a trans man who loves men is gay. This intersection is where LGBTQ culture becomes rich but also confusing to outsiders.
Mainstream media often focuses on the hardships facing trans people—violence, discrimination, and legislative attacks. However, true LGBTQ+ culture also celebrates trans joy: the first family dinner where a trans person is called by their correct name, the euphoria of finding gender-affirming clothing, or the simple peace of existing without having to explain yourself.
However, challenges remain. The commodification of Pride—rainbow logos on products during June followed by silence on trans issues in July—has led to a radicalization of trans activism. Many trans leaders are now calling for a "re-queering" of the movement, moving away from corporate sponsorship and back toward the direct-action, street-level ethos of STAR and the Stonewall riots.
