Despite this, for decades, the "T" was often treated as an afterthought by mainstream gay and lesbian organizations. The early push for "respectability politics" in the 1970s and 80s saw many gay rights groups distancing themselves from "drag queens and transvestites" to appear more "normal" to heterosexual society. This created a painful fracture: the transgender community had fought for the right for gay people to love who they love, but trans people were often sidelined in the fight to be who they are.
Non-binary people (who use pronouns like they/them, ze/zir, or neo-pronouns) are reshaping language, law, and social interaction. They are demanding that we move beyond "he" or "she" and acknowledge the spectrum of humanity.
