Why Are Trans People Left Out Of LGBT History So Often?<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Despite their pivotal role in advancing the queer community, trans<\/a> people are often written out of history, Lourdes Hunter, the national director at Trans Women of Color Collective<\/a>, explained to HuffPost Live earlier this week. But why is there such a tendency to cut out some of our most crucial trans<\/a> pioneers from lesbian<\/a>, gay<\/a>, bisexual<\/a> and transgender (LGBT) history?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the video<\/a> above, Hunters, LGBT Healthlink<\/a> director Dr. Scout and National Center for Transgender Equality<\/a> executive director Mara Keisling discuss why trans<\/a> people are often ignored in historical retellings and the impact that has on the trans<\/a> community. <\/p>\n
