In response to Richard... trans men are MEN if that is their gender identity and it is entirely possible for transMEN to be part of MSM "groupings" as you call them. That does not negate the fact that gay transmen have unique needs and face unique barriers that cisgender gay men don't and thus there is a wide opening for additional outreach and services.

Of course Trans people won't feel part of any MSM grouping. But they should be made to feel part of LGBTQ+. The setting in LGBTQ+ places should be welcoming and friendly towards Trans people. We can't just go having exclusively Trans Friendly Centres in addition to all of the other centres for testing. LGBT Centres need to be fully LGBTQ+ Centres where Trans people are very much welcome and included. Gay Centres need to be LGBTQ+ Centres. Stop the divisions! Stop making more divisions.
