This is me once again seeing the LGBTQ+ initialism and asking people to switch to the more respectable and scientific term "Sexual and Gender Minorities" or SGM for short.
Or queer. Or the archaic gender neutral 'gay'¹
¹but not the modern more masculine gendered 'gay'
Wouldn't gender minorities include men? Women is the majority gender. I think you need a term that excludes cis men and women.
That's a reasonable request. In all honesty I will probably stick with the notation i've already been using the last several decades. Same Sex Attraction/-ed/&c. is also theoretically a respectable and scientific term, but i've been around too many people who use it as a slur so i'm not sold on adopting scientific nomenclature for colloquial use.
Fair request, duly noted. Thank you for the info
