I see they are flying the trans cancer rainbow flag in addition to the regular trans flag. Because apparently we really need to know it's all about the T.

A woman or woman-aligned person who is predominantly attracted to other women and woman-aligned people. As UC Davis’ LGBTQIA Resource Center notes, some nonbinary people may also use the term, particularly if they have a connection to womanhood and are mostly attracted to women. In other words, you don’t necessarily have to identify as a woman, exclusively or at all, to identify as a lesbian!

Pure fucking nonsense. No one is attracted to the word woman. No one is attracted to someone's identity.

While nonbinary is sometimes abbreviated as NB, that abbreviation was in actuality coined by Black activists to refer to non-Black — or “NB” — people of color when discussing their experiences of racism. Rather than co-opting this term, ENBY is seen by many as the better acronym choice.

Oh, but they can co-opt woman, lesbian, and any other letter convenient to them? The double standards, I swear.

The acronym is always evolving — and that’s a beautiful thing.

NO IT FUCKING ISN'T

I know an intersex person who is pretty upset that intersex is in the alphabet soup. She's a natal female detransitioner with a CCSD, so obviously she isn't happy about being forced into the soup.

The two-spirit identity is reserved for those who identify as Indigenous North American.

Ok. Then I identify as Indigenous North American. Identifying as something makes you that thing, right? Can I be Two-Spirit now?
