Frankly, the ever expanding acronym of LGBTQetc looks to be a byproduct of a stovepipe system.

A stovepipe system is a term used in engineering. It's what happens when you build a model based on a false conception of an underlying concept the model is based on. So your model has to keep being added to with hacks, kludges, and bag-on-the-side retrofitting as the underlying reality keeps butting heads with the theoretical model, which leads to the model growing and growing as it is desperately modified again and again to keep up with new information that contradicts it.

And that's exactly what happened when western cishet "learned" men, utterly confident in their own benevolence, and utterly clueless about queerness, set out to try to dissect us.

So I call bullshit on the whole sorry affair.

I'm queer. LGBT is a false consciousness.
