This divergence creates tension. Some within the LGB community, particularly older generations or "LGB drop the T" factions, argue that trans issues are "different" or "too complex" for the broader rainbow flag.

Concepts such as preferred pronouns, gender affirmation, and the distinction between gender expression and identity have enriched the vocabulary of human diversity.
