Despite everything, it's still 
but not for long lolI've long believed that the crucial advantage of the term "queer" over the acronyms is that it acknowledges that diversity is not something you can exhaustively enumerate. we must be always prepared to embrace diversity that we hadn't considered before. this is the most consistent inclusivity
it also avoids listing them *in a specific order*
Woozle Hypertwin@lewdum It also also avoids listing them, which means that malicious parties can't carefully exclude one or more subgroups. (Thinking of "LGB Alliance", in case that wasn't obvious.)
AnthonyJK-AdminMaybe, but LGB Alliance is so socially conservative and anti-sex to begin with that they would also repudiate that term anyway.
"Queer" in my mind fits as a nice amalgam for all of the sexual orientations that are targeted by the Right. You could still use specifics if you want to define particular subgroups, but "queer" has the advantage of implying that the opposition to their humanity is based on them being sexual "outlaws" & not "normal" cis folk.
Also, just as it is possible for White folks to be antiracist/socialist and people of color to support White Supremacy, it is also just as possible for non-cis folk to be very socially & sexually conservative if not reactionary, and for "cis" folk to be radically supportive of queer/sex radical thought.
𒀭Wiiお姉さん 💜 🏳️⚧️@woozle those people have been calling queer a slur for a long time now, precisely because they cannot use it to exclude anyone. Our choice of words will never have much of an influence on their hate; speaking up is the only thing that works (specially those LGB people that these bigots claim to speak for)
@darkwiiplayer Choosing and reclaiming words won't stop the hate, but can make it more difficult to spread it.
It's kind of hard to get someone upset by calling them a name if they embrace it.
