Why aren't the rest of the letters in "LGBT" in the category title in Yahoo! Answers?

1. Because many people hate the word "queer" more than they do "gay", like I still consider queer to be a slang, even though it's not anymore, still doesn't feel comfortable.

2. Many people don't know what "pansexual" or "asexual" is, which is one of the easiest, they for sure wouldn't know the full version, would be a pain in the butt to explain. LGBT Is just neat and short, and everyone knows what it stands for.

3. And intersex is a birth defect same as transgender, and both sides go through hell of a process trying to fit in the society, that's why they are a part of LGBT, we take anyone who needs help. We humans are complicated creatures, our bodies are mysterious, scientists to this day discover new things so I wouldn't be surprised two-spirits is a real thing

Hey Lilan!

For most people, the LGBT term is not specific enough, as they feel if it is not included, then it's intentionally excluded and their sexual attraction/preference isn't real and not accepted. So as their agenda implies, they have to include as much people as possible, you know, because of "sexual freedom". They don't want anyone feeling left out.

Ironically, there are many that are still left out, regardless. But who cares in the end, no one's gonna bother to remember all that. And in the future, the rational people are gonna look back on this time period, and think we were the biggest idiots for thinking all that stuff was legitimate.

Queer is a slur, and actually we're using Mogaii now. Marginalized and opressed genders, asexuals, intersex and I believe the last 'i' is for identities; that means only people who are gay (including lesbians) or bi- or another form of bi (pan, whatever), and/or transgender or non binary are included.

Because allies don't need a place in our movement, they need to support us and understand that WE need pride, because WE are hurt for being us. Allies should either support us because it's right, or not support us at all because if they're just doing it to be included they're not real allies.

Intersex is included because it has to do with gender identity and beign trans.

Two spirit is actually racist to use, the correct term for anyone not in the native group that used it would be bi-gender, as two spirit is a very highly regarded religious thing that is pretty messed up to just state that you are.

UGH i knew someone would ask this question sooner or later. just be happy that yahoo answers EVEN gave us a section.

Maybe we could have named it "alternative sexual preference outside of heterosexuality"...that would be mouthful.

just be happy we have a section at all. tomorrow the section could be completely gone.
