For advocating for an all inclusive term rather than an acronym that can be chopped to exclude people?

Yeah fuck me I guess.

Well you’re doing it by trying to exclude the parts you don’t agree with…

What about the word queer implies that?

Literally your entire first paragraph is you trying to explain why you get to decide which parts belong, based only on how YOU feel about it. It’s weird you can’t read what you wrote.

I said I understand why people feel the need to include terms that are already covered by the Q in LGBTQ, but overextending the acronym and including symbols and numbers causes confusion, defeats the purpose of the acronym, and makes people who are not included feel left out.

The whole point of my argument was I think queer should be the go to term cause it covers everyone and leaves nobody out.

Don't bother. Looked at thier history. They are a far right troll.

I have nothing to hide. I'm a dumb irresponsible formerly conservative queer person who is still learning and who says stupid shit all the time, some of it I even come to regret. It's all there for anyone who wants to judge my character. Happy reading. Hopefully your assessment of me is more forgiving than @Hyperi0n.

You’re like “ I want to hear counterpoints to my argument”.

Okay, well not everyone likes or associates with the general term “queer”.

You say “ I want to support and include people who need it”.

Then act like it my guy, here’s your chance to attempt to understand something separate from yourself that wants to be included and supported. You got this!
