As a way to simplify, I’ve always like GSM: Gender and Sexual Minorities. Seems to encompass everything without prioritizing any of the letters, and doesn’t require choosing an arbitrary stop point for which letters to list or not list.
My nerdy ass brain was like "how in the Windows environment can someone like GSM" and then I continued reading…

"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.
There are straight trans people in the LGBT community. It's not as simple as "not straight".

as a member of the letter gang, can we just call ourselves the letter gang and be done with it?

Enlighten me, Jack.

If "queer" is an umbrella term then why wouldn't the whole community just be referred to as such?
Similarly, I'm not 100% sure about this but afaik the + got commonly added before the IA, and I really dislike adding anything specific after a generalized "everyone who feels part of it" because doing that delegitimizes that the + actually means everyone. Though it also does suck if people feel excluded otherwise.
I've seen queer used to refer to the whole community though, but I think LGBT(+whichever addendums) has just been around for so long it's most people's goto, plus "queer" used to be a slur.
In my head it's just "people not conforming to the majority group for sex or gender related reasons" and then I write whatever my brain decides is the term in that moment. Usually LGBTQ+.

I met someone in a dream last night named Fobertleigh. There is no point to this, The post just reminded me of it.

That's kinda neat. Out of curiosity did they tell you their name in the dream or did you just sort of know it?

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.

️Think of the asexuals! PQ (pretty, queer) or POFQ (pretty, optionally fucking, queer) are much better.

They just tried… Trans people are part of the queer community they can still be attracted to the opposite gender.

I tried to explain the main reason that I'm aware of in this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/17894502

Either I skipped over the word 'trans' or it was added later on...

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

This sounds like the NPC I make up on the spot when the players ask the guard their name
