Once again for the folks in the back;

LGBTQA+ labels are *guide*posts, not *fence*posts

They are *inclusive*, not *exclusive*

If you use them as exclusive labels you are betraying the core concept of why they exist and dividing L and G and B and T against each other.
And if you're dividing LGB against T, LGBT against Q, LGBTQ against A, or just going old school with L against G?

Guess whose tactics you're emulating. Guess what that makes you.
Who *cares* if bi-gay, bi-bi and bi-straight exist? It doesn't hurt anyone if you're not bi. Who would it *actually hurt* if kids called themselves Trans for a while and decided otherwise later? And what did an Ace ever do to you?

Pull up your pants and stop embarrassing us all.
People seriously coming up to me all "hey it's cool, drop the T is a reactionary movement and I'm on your side, but now let me tell you about bisexuals and lesbians who don't use she/her pronouns and how transphobic they are against you"

It's sad that this works on anyone.
Half the people who argue I'm being "too" inclusive by saying he/him lesbians are good walking easily next to people who say I can't be gay because I'm "Pre-op" or some shit.

You are who you walk with.
Let me put it this way; you gatekeep who gets to call themselves a lesbian around me, and I will always be wondering when you'll turn on me and side with people who do it to me.

Because at that point you kind of already are drinking from the same well they do.
