LGBTQ+ vs MOGAI vs GRSM

CW: q-slur (qu**r) uncensored

these are all abbreviations for the non-cis/het/perisex community. but what do they all mean? and which one should we use?

LGBTQ+ - lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, plus. the most common and well known (inclusive) abbreviation. sometimes written as LGBT+ or LGBTQIA+ (adding intersex and asexual/aromantic)

MOGAI - marginalized orientations, genders, and intersex. it is short and easy to say but includes many many identities

GRSM - gender, romantic, and sexual minorities. also explicitly includes a wide range of identities

so which one is the best? spoiler: that is up to the individual to decide which one they use! i personally prefer LGBTQ+ because it is most familiar and easily recognized, and i feel that it highlights the community’s diversity.

however i certainly see the value in MOGAI and GRSM to clearly include all identities under the + so use whatever you are most comfortable with!

please note some people may not like being referred to with one of these terms (for example they may be okay with GRSM but not MOGAI, or MOGAI but not LGBTQ+, etc) this is valid and okay! respect their decisions!

---also none of these acronyms include p*doph*les---

on #q slur

my Official Stance™ on "queer is a trigger for some people and they need it tagged"

if you're going to reblog any of my posts (and for our purposes my posts are posts of which I am the OP) and it contains the word queer, and you want to tag it, then you can use the tags:

#queer

#q word

#queer for ts

#q word for ts

do not use any other tags, like:

#q slur

#q slur reclaimed

#q*eer

#qu**r

#que*r

#q**er

#q***r

#q slur tw

#q slur cw

#q slur //

any version where you're censoring the word itself, or explicitly labelling it a slur

I understand that this is a difficult boundary to enforce, that not everybody will check my bio or respect it. but it's one I insist on and if you can't respect it then I will ask you to delete my post or I will block you. I'm queer, and I refuse to have a fact integral to myself and my identity tagged as a slur on my content. it's practically a trigger for me as far as my reactions are concerned.

thank you for taking the time to read this post.

cw: discussion of q slur and transphobia under the cut

lol throwback to three hours ago when i said i was glad our school didn’t call our gss program “qu**r studies” and my friend, a gss major (who said she has only taken one gss class so far lol), proceeded say stuff in a mocking/taunting voice like “oh, you don’t like the word qu**r? does the word qu**r make you uncomfortable? I’ll have you know that qu**r studies has been used in academia by actual good qu**r academics for decades. i wish our school called it qu**r studies. you’re offended by the word qu**r? too bad, because only some qu**r people are offended by the word qu**r. Most qu**r people actually prefer the word qu**r because it’s inclusive of all qu**r people, not just el gee bee tee”

and whenever i tried to interject something about how ??? i have a lot of trauma associated with the word as i encountered a lot of homophobia growing up in Texas so would you like, intentionally rubbing the word in my face as though there’s something wrong with me for flinching whenever i hear that word? i have friends who identify as qu**r and i’m fine with it as long as they understand that not everyone can view the word in a positive light. also it’s not as though “gender and sexuality studies” isn’t also inclusive????? it’s literally ????????????? the most inclusive way to say that???????????? so why was she getting so defensive???

especially since the way she was saying it was in the exact same tone (i.e. mocking/taunting/teasing me with the word) as i’d hear people using the word as a slur would use?????? like I was having flashbacks to that as i was sitting there because of her???????

and i was literally shaking and i just said “i’m not having this conversation with you, i don’t want to argue about this, can you please stop saying that,” etc. and i just said “i dont want to offend you with my opinion” and she said “oh don’t worry, you won’t hurt me,” and i just said, straight to her face, “well, i can’t say the opposite is true.” also there was (another lesbian) sitting with us and she just looked so uncomfortable with how my other friend was acting. (i am the mutual friend between them and i invited the rude one.)

also she literally said, to my face, that she can pass as a guy/not a woman better than me. i was like ???? i’m literally not a woman ????? and she was like “ive been asked if i was a guy or a girl before. i would pass as a guy. you wouldn’t” and she mentions how she’s got short hair while i have long hair, and how she looks more androgynous in general. then she says that she was also considering to “pretend she was a guy” (an idea which i gave her when we first had a conversation over text about the dress code.) and what the fuck. you’re a woman and i’m not. i wouldn’t be “pretending to be a guy,” i wouldn’t be pretending anything at all. i would just be.... being myself, which is not a woman! a cis girl should not be saying this to a nb person. the context was that i was opening up to the two of them about how i was super upset that women are required to wear a skirt or a dress to enter certain religious places on our greece trip and how that was going to be super dysphoric for me, and how i was thinking about just dressing up really fancy in dress clothes and a tie.

As a side note... after the qu**r thing happened, I said that archaeology (we’re in a greek archaeology class) was rooted in racism, imperialism, and orientalism & she was like “wow you’re just attacking everything i love!” like okay... you love racist things then lol i wonder what that says about you

like wow this year my friends really are showing their true colors????

#q slur //#homophobia //#transphobia //#it's personal #i just................. hate people who do this. you're not cool or edgy you're offensive.#it's not punk to be an asshole !!#long post #though it's under a cut lol
