      Jesus. At this point can we just say LGBTO and have the O mean Others? It’s getting cringy af, and I’m saying that as a trans person.

          I’d love if we could get to a place where the Q encompasses all of the identities. As it stands, it feels like Queer has taken on an identity of its own.

            I’d love to get to a place where there is no LGBTQ+ community at all. That’s what actually winning looks like.

        Don’t worry there are only 107 recognized genders. I’d like to hear any politician throw that one around

          Why can’t those 107 genders fall under T for trans? I feel old for saying this, but if you don’t identify with your birth gender then doesn’t that make a person trans? Why do they need a extra letter on LGBT for it?

              So you’re a transhpobe? At least just say you’re a transphobic person, it’s a lot easier than typing in that cringy comment.

                No, I couldn’t give a shit what you do in your life. I’m not changing for anyone, I am me. If you don’t like it, go elsewhere. If that’s transphobic, sure what ever. I really don’t care because it doesn’t affect my life

                  But your actions affect others, you being unwilling to properly gender a person means that others hate will reach them easier. Just because you aren’t being affected doesn’t mean you can’t help things improve. And if you aren’t willing to gender somebody properly, what did you think that made you before? It’s simply hateful.

                  So if the CEO of the company you worked for introduced himself with male pronouns but you thought he looked feminine, you’d call him by female pronouns? Or if you got pulled over by a female officer but she looked masculine to you, you’d call her “Sir”? Yikes. It sounds to me like you just like having a shitty excuse to disrespect people.

                    Jesus fuck you are stupid. I only acknowledge 2 genders. Male and female.

                    I am not disrespectful in any way unless you do something stupid like interrupt me to let me know your bullshit ideology about genders.

                    You and the people in your life can do that. Don’t force your moronic ideology down my throat.

                    That’s it. It’s not hard.

                    I don’t care if you love dick or vagina or neither, you do you.

                    Get that ideology through your thick skull and STFU about it when in public, unless you’re with people you know, then do it with them and no one else.

        It’s a Native American term that has been in use for thousands of years longer than whatever newbie civilization your ancestors came from.
