For reference, I am a trans girl and pretty sure I’m Endosex. I do not know any openly intersex people IRL.

Is the term GRSM inclusive of intersex people, and if not and it should be, what alternatives besides LGBTQIA+ are? (I’ve heard Quiltbag and Mogai as well but apparently they are both problematic? Idk but apparently Quiltbag feeds into gay stereotypes and Mogai divides the overrall community but I have no idea).

I would appreciate responses from Intersex comrades if possible, but I’d love any form of help on this issue. Thanks <3

    Well, there’s bad faith arguments around MOGAI from all directions - if you ever see the “bisexuality is enbiephobic because bi means you’re attracted to exactly 2 genders” discussion in the wild, run. But the nomenclature as a whole definitely has drawn a ton of attention from chuddy ragebait accounts.

      Some bisexuals are attracted to enbies lmao, plus if bisexuality = two genders does biracialness = two races? Some people just choose to be ignorant, me personally when I see them I’ll correct them and only interact if they have positive or constructive negative feedback, otherwise I just ignore them (mute them if possible lol)

        Honestly, i don’t know any bisexual that isn’t attracted to enbies. I mean, not being attracted to enbies at all isn’t a thing that’s possible in the first place when you feel any kind of attraction because enbie includes every gender presentation imaginable, including all binary presentations because enbie is as much of a blanket / catchall term as it gets, but even if we’re talking about “stereotypical androgynous look you’d expect to see constantly in a selfie thread in a nonbinary community”, i don’t know any out of the tons of bisexual people i know who wouldn’t be into that.
