Comment on It's a tragedeigh
uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 hours agoI just use LGBT+ since it was LGBT for a long time (it was GLBT but the Ls earned their place at the front during the AIDS crisis) then it became LGBTQ, then a bunch of other letters were added while the community was recognizing is profound variety before it turned into LGBTQ+
Q+ has a nice ring to it, but since I’m an unusual form of NB, I fit squarely into the catch-all variety of Q.

I automatically say LGBTQ if I’m not just specifying which one I’m talking about. I guess that’s what got codified in my head before the plus become commonplace.
I always thought I was regular ol’ cis until recently, but when I thought about it I realized I didn’t really care about my gender identity and just used he/him because it’s what I was born as and didn’t have any problem with it. Apagender, I’ve seen it called. I’ve seen some are also fine with it/its, but I find those dehumanizing.
