"Drop the T" is a slogan coined in 2015 to encourage LGBT organizations to stop support of transgender people. The campaign has been widely condemned by most LGBT groups as transphobic and an attempt to turn gay, lesbian and bisexual people against trans people. The Change.org petition which popularised the term were countered with other petitions arguing against the movement, many of which attained multiple times of signatures in support.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
