    I know it's difficult for you to grasp, so I'll try to be nice and spell it out in really easy terms: Average Joe doesn't need to request to be represented, since he already is. (That, for your information, is the sociological meaning of the word "average.") You cannot compare the needs of under-represented minorities or majorities with that of over-represented ones. Average Joe claiming for more representation is greedy, whereas the OP wants to feel more human than she/he feels within a set of structures that exclude him or ignore her. That is assuming he/she is not trolling. But even in that case, the theory stands.

    On the other hand, I also remind his/her critics, that there are some within the LGBT community that lack the gender polarization most have, and some of them want to remain within this ambivalent, trans-gendered, non-polar state and identify themselves as transgendered as well.

    Well, isn't it something like 90% of the population have a degree of bi-sexuality. And 40% of people are somewhat "totally" homosexual.

    I think you and I have different meanings for the term "average joe". I'd consider the average joe to be 40% homosexual. lol.

    The "LGBT Community" as we know it - imo - Is something completely different from the average person.
