What's up with lgbtq nation using the right wing lgb phrasing?

Conclusive data on transgender users was unavailable, the authors noted.

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.

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

gay, lesbian and bisexual Americans vape at significantly higher rates

Conclusive data on transgender users was unavailable, the authors noted.

(I do however understand the knee jerk reaction to seeing LGB on its own. Fuck terfs.)
