Exactly.

Yeah.

And then the LGBTQ plus community reclaimed it and basically said, if you are not straight, let queer be an umbrella term that serves you.

Adding letters, no one's gonna say anything, no one's gonna be respectful.

So queer encompasses all of the identities.

And it's you're gay, you're lesbian, you're bisexual, you're trans.

In terms of just language that encompasses and includes everyone in the LGBTQ plus community.

And like I said there, that already doesn't have an I, it doesn't have the A, it's already not fully inclusive.

And so instead of continuing to add letters, we say queer and trans.

We entirely agree that sex and gender are different things.

What I am saying is that the LGBTQ plus- That is not what I said.

It is what you said.

But the LGBTQ plus community is called a community because these are people that have been pushed out of societal norm and persecuted in the same ways by the same people for differences in their innate characteristic of who they are as a human being.

And because it is so similar in the styles of persecution and because we shouldn't further divide marginalized communities, the queer and trans community are a community.

Our struggles are interlinked.

Stonewall, the first protest, what is known to start the LGBTQ plus movement-

is an interlinked movement of resistance between queer and trans people.

They are, and they're a community.

Why is it important for you to distinctualize the two?
