JCJ's clarification on her "being gay is a behaviour" from earlier is a bit better but still fundamentally flawed

Being gay could be described as the "desire" or motivation for certain actions if you wanted (elaborated below). She then goes on to...

compare being trans to being gay by saying it's also a "desire" to do certain actions. Ok, if you want

The flaw is that she's just looking at gay and trans, and not straight and cis. If being gay is a "desire" for certain actions, like dating, marrying, having sex etc, then...

so is being straight. But it's also a "desire" to not do actions. A gay man isn't just a man who "desires" to date men, he is someone who "desires" to not date women

A trans person is someone who "desires" to transition, and a cis person is someone who doesn't. But also a...

cis person is someone who "desires" to not transition. Saying "well I'm just female" is trying to make it sound like you have no "desire" in this context at all, as opposed to trans people who do, but that's not true. We know from studies that cis people who transition suffer...

and want to detransition. There is a "desire" to not transition. This is just "cis as the default"

She says "you do not desire things you are" and I think that kind of sums up the blindness of the cis perspective on this. You probably don't notice that you "desire" anything...

until you don't have it. That doesn't mean you don't have a need for it

She then goes on to do the standard GC garbo of trying to suggest transition is just sexist stereotypes which is clearly rubbish. No one has had Genital Reassignment Surgery because they like...

lipstick (well, almost no one, we know that a handful of cis people have done so, or been forced to, and they then have a strong "desire" to transition back, because existing as a cis person is just as "desire" driven as being a trans person, it's just lucky they don't have to...

do anything about it most of the time)

Finally, I agree and welcome the clarification that being LGBT is largely innate, but wouldn't matter if it was or not as it is value neutral, anyone should be able to be gay, straight, trans, cis, etc even if it was a choice

I would reply directly to @janeclarejones, but cant. It's a shame none of the GC thought leaders will engage with trans people directly as they ignorantly speculate about our lives
