@FernLovebond LGBTQIA is still heavily used, just use the tag so folks know and are able to find me easier. Not everyone uses grsm though I feel like it blankets the LGBTQIA+ quite nicely with room for growth.

@PaganMother

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the LGBT-endlessly growing list of letters because so many ppl want to argue about who's included and isn't, or whether we need to add more, etc. Gender, Sexual, & Romantic Minority covers it beautifully, I think. Includes everyone who isn't the common cishet (no shade, but they clearly aren't minority groups).

All I meant was I have always pinned for GSRM. But you used GRSM (2x now), & I didn't even think of that.

(－‸ლ)

@FernLovebond Yeah, there's still some LGBTQs that don't really know about the GRSM label or what it means. There's some people that are still kind of in the dark about it. I quent like it cuz it's a very clean-cut term. It fits everybody. We don't have to worry about discriminating and it covers base minority as well.

@PaganMother @FernLovebond what is GRSM? Not sure I’ve heard that one.

@annamuneca @FernLovebond gender romantic sexual minorities.

@PaganMother @FernLovebond and what does it mean? How is the term used?
Excited to learn something new!

@annamuneca @FernLovebond It's basically a blanket term for all LGBTQ without adding on more minority labels to the term. It generalizes gender, romantic and sexual minorities without going into the if ands or buts of what.

@annamuneca @FernLovebond It's like LGBTQ but it's not ever extended with more minorities being added. This way it blanket covers everyone that actually is included in the sexual gender and romantic minorities nationally.

@PaganMother @annamuneca

Or GSRM: Gender Sexual and Romantic Minorities. The order is irregular apparently. I first encountered it GSRM, but it seems some ppl have consistently done the other way.

@FernLovebond @annamuneca I blame my dyslexia. Sometimes I shuffle letters.

@PaganMother

Nah, it's apparently a common transposition. See it both ways
¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

@annamuneca

@FernLovebond @annamuneca That's kind of cool to know. Thanks!

@FernLovebond
I think I prefer GRSM only because to me, GSR = Gun Shot Residue 🤣🤣🤣

@stueytheround

(☉︹☉)

Yeah, okay. Sheesh.

@PaganMother @annamuneca

@FernLovebond Sorry. Just trying to insert a little silliness. Bad timing on my part!
Seriously, whichever way around people use it, it's an excellent umbrella term which I hope to see used more often.

@PaganMother @annamuneca

@stueytheround @FernLovebond @annamuneca Oh I agree! LGBTQ can be actually kind of a mouthful, especially with as many acronyms that have been added to it over the last few years. I'm not saying that it's not good to have the acronyms, but it can be a bit of a hassle to remember them all. GSRM or GRSM both can be easily used to umbrella all of us and there's plenty of room for growth to fit more.

@PaganMother @stueytheround @FernLovebond
I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. I need a lot of examples or an infographic so off to researching I go!!

@annamuneca @PaganMother @FernLovebond
Just a thought:
Perhaps it might be worth a poll to settle on one spelling, for coso, to consolidate related posts.

If you use the (#)QueerCoso (#)TransCoso tags it ought to reach the right audience.
What do you all think?

@stueytheround

Do I like the idea of a standard we all use to make connecting to the right people easier? Yes please!!

Will I try to herd that batch of cats? No. I gave up on PuzzleScore requests, and this... ugh. I've been in too many discussions that become arguments about inclusion and privilege over the inclusion/exclusion and even the ORDER of the letters.

Not for me, thanks. Feel free to champion that cause. I'll go with the flow.

@annamuneca @PaganMother

@FernLovebond Ok.
I'll take it up.
It's not often an ally gets the chance to enable folk to speak so I am hapoy to try. @annamuneca @PaganMother

@stueytheround
You're cool, Stuey! I was goofing a bit too, hence the silly emoji face.

All good, fren.

@PaganMother @annamuneca

@PaganMother
Brilliant! We've needed something like this for ages. The extentding if LGBT+++ has become somewhat untenable.

@annamuneca @FernLovebond

@stueytheround @annamuneca @FernLovebond Yeah, for right now it's just an Urban dictionary listing. I haven't seen it used anywhere else except for on a couple surveys that have been used by the government. I'm kind of hoping that they end up adopting it. It would be nice.
