How did "transgendered" come to be included in LGBT? [Details]?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) November 14th, 2014

I know that some people consider it sloppy sourcing, but I quote Wiki:

Transgender is independent of sexual orientation; transgender people may identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, etc; some may consider conventional sexual orientation labels inadequate or inapplicable to them..

So how did it become integrated with the lesbian and gay rights movement, which is about sexual orientation?
