This is why I just go with "queer" if I'm being general. One syllable, and I don't have to remember as much or stay on top of new additions.

    yeah, you know, I'm all for inclusion and making everyone feel seen, but I feel like you have to draw the line somewhere before things start getting ridiculous and we have an initialism that's like, 10+ characters long. I was cool with extending it to a point, but it is genuinely getting to the point of absurdity if you were to try speaking it aloud.

    edit: idea: we gotta find an acronym. And I don't just mean one acronym, I mean a good, well-branded acronym like NASA, but one that also changes for every time we as a species decide another character is warranted. We gotta make an acronym with expansion in mind

    Like you I'm 100% for inclusion but this alphabet salad is soooooooo goddamn dumb.

    Just add a + to the letters you remember if you don't want to use a term like gay or queer. Also, i have never met someone upset because their letter was omitted.
