South Asian feminist thinker and writer Sarojini Sahoo proves T is alien from LGB.
Sarojini Sahoo tells that gender is a social creation, not a natural function of sex. Sex is related to our biological sexual make up and uses certain biological markers whereas gender is a common social expectation which puts borderlines for each sex.LGB are related to SEXUAL ORIENTATION and T is related to GENDER IDENTITY.
Is transition required any way for the people who feel their soul remain in the wrong body?
A very interesting discourse in this rarely discussed gender topic.

Tala, I believe that the phrase “muslim society” is used by the organizing coalition to refer to societies that have a muslim majority population (in the middle east, north africa, south/southeast asia), rather that as a reference to Islam as a religion. Many discriminatory laws in these regions have nothing to do with Islam, nor was Islam the source of them. Your criticism may apply if the phrase was “sexual rights in Islam”.

This comment is directed to the author of this article : nadz

“Actually, I’m glad you asked. Today is the international day of action for sexual and bodily rights across Muslim societies” ..

I am hoping that you understand that there is a difference between Arab socities and Muslim socities – it clearly states in Islam that heternormativity is the right path. There are sexual and bodily rights across Muslim socities, that is true; but it isn’t the way it is being protrayed here. The Islamic religion does not practice anything besides heternormativity. When Muslims deviate from this path the contents of this article apply to them – the Islamic religion however is no longer adhered in this case.

Please refrain from “Muslim socities”, as it has been used here. It DISREESPECTS practicing Muslims across the world.
