Usage notes
In recent years, LGB has come to be used to intentionally exclude transgender people. Sometimes this is by people who intend to exclude trans people from the queer community in general (such as the LGB Alliance), and sometimes it simply indicates that trans people are not the group being discussed (e.g. "transphobia among cis LGB people").
