What's up with lgbtq nation using the right wing lgb phrasing?
RTFA
That tracks as we usually “don’t smoke” (idk if you still have to quit to get hormones but you used to)
that doesn't answer my question why they're using right wing terf phrasing
its still lgbtq+ not lgb
Because this data literally doesn't include trans, Queer, two spirit, asexual, or any other sexuality besides the ones in the acronym. It is only that acronym because of the data, it's a coincidence not an intention.
they could start by not excluding trans people. you refer to them just like i said; the lgbtq+ community
what do you think the b in lgbtq+ is?
this is literally my entire post
Agreed, but it would be inaccurate here, seeing as trans people don't vape as much.
my bestie in christ, scientifically excluding a population is not the same as treating a community with prejudice. trans people are excluded from the acronym in the title because there isn't data on us. it would be misleading and inaccurate to include us in those statistics.
But this article isn’t about the whole community, right?
Is this not them being more specific? It is specifically calling to lesbian, gay, and bisexual folks and explicitly not including transgender and gender diverse folk, as per the study
(I do however understand the knee jerk reaction to seeing LGB on its own. Fuck terfs.)
