LGBS is the best new acronym. Makes it very explicit it's about sexual orientation. It's ALWAYS been about sexual orientation. Nobody wants deal with the "my gender is a feeling" crowd anymore.

That is such a good point - LGB and S are all sexual orientation.

Aggressive trans activists only got the T put on gay rights in the late 80s/ early 90s - trans activists very deliberately changed the gay rights movement into something, something, GENDER IDENTITY.

But they didn't even call it "gender identity" IIRC. That didn't start to pop up until relatively recently IIRC.

So use their own tactics - Drop the T and all the rest of the Soup and just stick to LGBS, because that encompasses all sexualities.

Yeah, the only reason T got to tag along at all was because so many trans folks of the 80s-90s were just homosexuals in denial.

So true: Lots of gay men who internalized homophobia became "trans" back then because the environment for gays was so toxic.

Pretty good idea.

Edit: Let's be real, here. The S is already in the movement in the form of hordes of Transbians and Gaydens. Might as well make it official by including Straight people who are at least honest about their sexuality. And this takes care of the gender woo woo crowd with their identities.
