In recent years, a small but vocal minority—often termed "TERFs" (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists) and "LGB Without the T"—have attempted to sever the alliance. They argue that trans women are not "women-born-women" and that trans rights conflict with the safety of lesbians (e.g., in single-sex spaces). This view is vehemently rejected by mainstream LGBTQ organizations like GLAAD and the Human Rights Campaign, but it has caused real psychological harm to trans individuals who once considered LGBTQ spaces their only refuge.
