If "queer" is an umbrella term then why wouldn't the whole community just be referred to as such?
I tried to explain the main reason that I'm aware of in this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/17894502

They just tried… Trans people are part of the queer community they can still be attracted to the opposite gender.
Either I skipped over the word 'trans' or it was added later on...

They told me. I was at work and introducing myself to someone new. Looking back now, I think it was a girl I went to highschool with but her name most certainly wasn't Fobertleigh back then.
I like to think this was your brain trying really really hard to remember her name too. Put her right in front of you in the dream and just cobbled together whatever sound clicked when all your neurons tried to focus on her at once. Brains are so silly

I met someone in a dream last night named Fobertleigh. There is no point to this, The post just reminded me of it.
This sounds like the NPC I make up on the spot when the players ask the guard their name

"The terms pansexual, omnisexual, fluid and queer-identified are regarded as falling under the umbrella term bisexual (and therefore are considered a part of the bisexual community). Some use LGBT+ to mean "LGBT and related communities".[29] Other variants may have a "U" for "unsure"; a "C" for "curious"; another "T" for "transvestite"; a "TS", "2S", or "2" for "two-spirit" persons; or an "SA" for "straight allies".[48][49][50][51][52] The inclusion of straight allies in the LGBT initialism has proven controversial, as many straight allies have been accused of using LGBT advocacy to gain popularity and status in recent years,[53] and various LGBT activists have criticised the heteronormative worldview of certain straight allies.[54] Some may also add a "P" for "polyamorous" or "pangender", an "H" for "HIV-affected", or an "O" for "other".[14][55] The initialism LGBTIH has seen use in India to encompass the hijra third gender identity and the related subculture.[56][57]"
Only Anglo-Saxons can make not being straight an overly structured and semantically confusing endeavour, lol.
Just say 'queer'

Enlighten me, Jack.
A trans woman interested only in men is heterosexual. A trans man interested only in women is heterosexual.

There does seem to be a varying number of letters in it and sometimes a plus

I actually love when a new overspelled name comes out. It gives me more fuel for when I screw up peoples names from the short form. Jessleigh, Jessifer, Jessbinder, Jessolomew, etc.

I think the point is that the classification into discrete categories is kind of contrary to the point of queerness.
Similarly, the whole point of the original rainbow pride flag was that it was all-encompassing, i.e. representing the entire spectrum of human gender and sexuality. But that keeps getting added to as well.

To be honest, I think we should just switch to using "queer" at this point. The Q covers everything. In fact we could just use the letter Q and be like on star trek.

Omg, is that Matt Bernstein??!!

Pick a name and use it for every guard, except switch the first consonant every time.
They will get a kick out of it a few times, and then slowly learn that there's no point in asking the guard's name.
Lambert, Hambert, Tambert, Kambert, and Dambert all come from a long lineage of esteemed city guards

No. People just keep subdividing pantone numbers.
I suppose you could argue that new technologies and ways of seeing ourselves have added genuinely new dimensions to it, but if you dont get the thing about maps not being territory, you almost certainly havent engaged with or heard of any of those.

Five letters is fine, but I'm not subscribed to the new's letter for knowing what all the add-ons to it mean. It never changes anything for me to know anyway. Just treat people with dignity. "Queer" should be fine at this point for casual use.

Btw we live in small appartment, not some luxurious private island you'd expect for that kind of money.

In my daily dealings with fellow queers
, I find most people say "LGBT" in casual speech instead of other variations of the acronym, occasionally adding the "Q", but I've never heard somebody casually drop a "LGBTQIA+." I think we all know that LGBT is inclusive; that, or there's a silent ellipsis at the end. -

LGB T QIA+
