So I’ve recently been trying to use the term “2SLGBTQQIA+” over “LGBTQ” as it seems more inclusive, and includes first nation peoples beliefs on sexuality and gender, as well as including and differentiating “queer” from “questioning”. It’s not perfect (still combines A for ally and A for Asexual) but I think ally could just be included in the “+” portion. Regardless, It seems that people unfamiliar with this term just think I’m being a smart ass or a bigot. When truly I want to know what the limits of what “the community” feel is appropriate. Thank you to anyone who can shed some light on this for me.
No, rule #1 is, "Be nice & have fun – Doxing, trolling, racism, and toxicity are not welcome in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. In addition, site wide Lemmy.world rules also apply here. "
“Cis”, “hetero” and “straight” are all perfectly acceptable and intelligible terms. Though I’m alarmed you don’t seem to know exactly what they mean.
Why so fragile?
My apologies. Was just trying to be all-inclusive. I get confused about the terminology. Anyways, just play nice.
