that "transgender" is lumped in with "gay lesbian and bi" whenever something is categorized. Like yahoo answers, this question is listed under "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered" I think transgenered is COMPLETELY in its own category

I don't see what's so offensive about that. Even though transgendered is not really about one's sexual orientation I think transgendered people have to deal with many similar problems as gay, bi and lesbian people. Society is divided in its opinion on these groups, there is a lot of controversy, all of them are discriminated against and have some people fighting against them. In a way I think it's ok to group transgendered together with gays, bis and lesbians when it comes to discussing matters that have to do with their rights and society's attitude towards them. The transgendered are a bit different from the rest, but I don't think they'd be better off if they were alone in their battle for acceptance.
