    That’s the thing, some people intentionally leave letters off to exclude groups

    For example the people who use LGB lately who are queer anti-trans folks

    This is why I prefer just saying “the Queer community” rather than try to remember the letters. I barely remember shit as is, I won’t be able to remember all the letters.

      I assume everything of the form LGBT[any other characters] is the same, LGB being a special exception because I know they did that for a reason. I do like queer as a community label though, it feels like a fuzzier term which reflects the fuzzy nature of community.

        the fuzzy nature of the community

        Exactly

        Sex, gender, sexuality, etc are all on a spectrum and trying to fit anyone into any specific category without overlap just ain’t gonna happen so using Queer is more inclusive IMO
