Always ask "LGBTIBQQ" people their pronouns?

But;

  • Lesbians don't need "preferred pronouns", they are women, so are referred to as she.
  • Gay men don't need "preferred pronouns", they are men, so are referred to as he.
  • Bisexual people are either men or women and have nothing to do with trans.
  • Intersex people don't need "preferred pronouns" and most of us just want to be seen as normal people, so chances are if you ask an intersex person what our "preferred pronoun" is, we're going to assume you view us as an "other" that gets to choose it's "gender" and we'll think you're a massive asshole for it.
  • WTF is the second B for?
  • Questioning people don't need to be asked their pronouns. Most questioning people are struggling and the last thing they need is some pompous shitbrain asking them a trivial "woke" loaded question like that.

Sorry that's my fault for rushing to post this before I needed to be somewhere and then not copy checking that I had not made a typo.

Should be LGBTIQBBQ, which mocks the never ending additional letters that are added to the end.

I'm 100% on board with adding BBQ to the community. At least BBQ would improve our image in rural areas/the South lol.

While: YUM... there's also the danger that this could add a whole new source of conflict! So on top of the flak that we LGB are already getting from the TQ: Barbecue Wars!

Cuz it's different in every region (Memphis wet vs dry-rub vs Texas vs Kansas City etc....). And EVERYONE'S is the BEST. Oh, you like yours better?

Still way less dumb than all these blitzkriegs over fuckin' PRONOUNS, though!

Easy! We have regional chapters which make the regional variants, have cookouts, etc. then we have an annual conference where everyone comes and makes their region variant! Everyone gets BBQ and can decide for themselves (and keep it to themselves) which type is best lol.
