        Thank you! 2 Spirited was my first introduction to what it meant to be Queer, and it’s pretty cool to see this variation on the acronym.

          Hey no problem glad I could help. It’s part of decolonization to include everyone in on Indigenous terms.

      You should look up Trudeau rattling off this acronym like it’s nothing lol. He likely practiced a lot in the mirror

        You get to be in the acronym. But you’re on your own for affordable food.

        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.

          That was the whole point of the “Q”! In fact, we could ditch the LGBT and just stick with a fully inclusive “Queer”.

          You don’t even need the O, because that’s what the Q means.

            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

            Recognized by whom? Most countries recognize 3: male, female, and everything inbetween

            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.

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