(but can we talk about how i know so many lesbians/gays/bisexual people who will discriminate against trans and nonbinary people?). i don't even like using the lgbtq acronym or any variation of it anyway because it always excludes someone. and gsrm is made by a pedophile or someone so i regret using that. mogii is way better:Marginalized Orientations, Gender Identity, and Intersex.
and about new labels/acronym for every kind of person, we kind of need labels? like labels are there to help people. i understand it's kind of frustrating, but labels helped me a lot. whenever people say "we don't need a label for every kind of gender or sexuality" i'm hearing "i don't want to acknowledge that everyone is different, and sexualities exist out of the western society and i don't want to learn about different sexualities and gender."
sorry if this sounded a lil angry or if i misinterpreted your post.
if you didn't get it, cisgender isnt part of the lgbtq acronym, there is no 'normal', and labels are important.

ok. i thought it was, because some people include it in the acronym. they must be wrong then. but i feel like there doesn't need to be a name for it, that was just my opinion, OK? and i never said queer people weren't normal. i'm queer, and i'm not normal. what i meant was heteronormativity and "cisnormativity" or whatever you called it. sorry if i offended you, but you didn't need to get so defensive, all right? i'm on your team. i am a non-binary gender too, though i do not know what it is yet.
and.. labels are helpful. not important. labels do not define who you are as a person. they can, however, help you to meet other people, come to terms with yourself, and much more. but they aren't necessary. i struggle with this myself because i want to know who i am, i want to have a label so that i can identify with other people like me. but i need to realize, and i think so do you and many other people, that they aren't something that you should worry about all the time. you are so much more. :)
