You see that, by bringing up the myth that Marsha P. Johnson was a trans woman and started the Stonewall riots, that pretty much became the central point of discussion in this thread? I don't fault you for this, of course, but that is symbollic of a major point of tension between LGB and TQ that will have to be solved one day or another, or else the rupture will only grow larger.

Because by saying that our liberation movement has roots in a mythical trans woman, you 1: relegate gay men and lesbians to secondary actors in our own political activism. 2: erase a prominent gay man (Marsha P. Johnson) in favor of another identity in the umbrella 3: diminish everything that came before Stonewall and even allowed that bar to exist in the first place.

Maybe that's not what you specifically intend, but the current narrative towards gay men and lesbians is that we're supposed to somehow accept that our elders sat by doing nothing while trans women won everything for us. That's ahistorical and, frankly, demeaning to the entire community. Gay men are completely justified in resenting that and not wanting to associate with it.
