Has anyone else seen LG"T"B?

submitted by [deleted] from self.LGBDropTheT

This has been peaking me more than usual, but who the fuck made T come before B?

It should be abundantly clear to people that T has nothing to do with LGB, but it seems like they're fucking hell bent until it becomes the fuckimg disgusting QTPAL+WTF brigade.

Why isn't this peaking the rest of the LGB community (I'm fucking looking at you, reddit)????

Why waste time doing that? Just make it TLGB and be done with it. Or better yet, TQLGB. Or better yet TQLGB. Just be TQ. It's fine. Our fee-fees won't be hurt. We promise.

I wish they would do that! Then people might actually be able to see the distinction. I'm so tired of seeing, "TRUMP HATES LGBT AND IS TAKING AWAY OUR RIGHTS" in response to an article on how he doesn't think people on a permanent hormone therapy need to be in a position where medication delivery is unreliable (the military)

It's a propaganda move. The trans lobby is nothing if not crafty, as evidenced by their Trojan Horsing of LGB.

Physically inserting the letter T in the middle makes it harder to drop, huh?

I would love to see them rely on that notion; let me introduce you to my delete key.

Yeah, I saw that on spanish articles. It was like LGTBI, and basically seems that in Spain that's the nomal acronym. It really bothered me to see the T before the B.

I saw "TLBG" back in 2014.

Everyone’s trans or genderqueer because no one is allowed to not want to date a transperson based on their actual sex.

Lesbian? But you have to consider transwomen for dating/fucking and if you refuse based on them being born male let alone having a male body/pheromones you’re transphobic.

Cis gay? Transmen are literally men so you’re not really gay if you won’t date or fuck someone born female or with female genitalia-you’re a transphobe with a genital fetish.

Cis? Gender is a construct you don’t even know who is trans just based on looks so a cis woman dating a trans woman is suddenly lesbian or genderqueer but date a transman you get to stay cis though you’re most likely going to still identify as a genderspecial because who wants to be a dirty cis normie these days

Bisexual? Oh we apparently date everyone! Not just women with vaginas or men with dicks nope as a bisexual woman i’m expected to be down for every transperson and genderspecial in the alphabet

Did I cover everything? Besides trans for some reason not wanting to date other trans hmmm

Nope. But I've seen LgBT and GGGG, as ways to villainize gay men by claiming that we're always stealing "the spotlight" of the community, or that we always care only about gay men.

Of course, this ignores much of the history. The LGBT flag itself was initially the gay flag, created by a gay man, manufactured by gay men. The TQ have their own communities and care about their own issues, yet they come to gay spaces to complain about gay men.

It'll only be a matter of time where it will be LTGB, then TLGB, to just TLGB, to just plain old erasure and just T...

In spanish it is used traditionally (since before queer idiocy took over). If you have seen it perhaps it is from spanish people that are used to it, or someone larping into it because they saw it in a spanish source and thought "ofc! I can use this!".

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how /why it went that way in Spanish? LGB was the acronym for a couple decades before the T was added - was there some pronounciation reason or was the timeline different in Spanish ...

I think it's just written "LGTB" in Spain and not in any other Spanish speaking country. I remember reading a Spanish person say it's because "it's easier to pronounce" but as a Spanish speaker from South America, that makes no sense to me 😕

[–]ghostraider 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I have also seen it in other spanish-speaking countries, for example Peru and Costa Rica, and if I remember correctly Colombia. But when the "I" was added I think LGBTI became more popular.

The pronunciation thing also makes no sense to me. In my opinion this changes come from the activist organizations, so it must have been a political reason or something.
