{{Stub}}An '''exclusionist''' or '''REG (Reactionary Exclusionist Gatekeeper)''' is someone who attempts to gate-keep the [[LGBTA+|LGBT]] community, by claiming that certain groups aren't "really" LGBT based on their own definition. The term includes [[TERF|TERFs]], [[A-Spec Exclusionist|a-spec exclusionists]], [[Transmed|truscum]], biphobes, and enbyphobes.▼

This falls under the [[Queerphobia|queerphobic]] umbrella.
== How exclusionism is harmful ==
Exclusionism is harmful, not only because it ignores what being LGBT+ means, but also because it leaves out essential groups and invalidates the harm and lack of representation done to other members of the community. Many exclusionists believe that to be LGBT+ you have to be severely oppressed. While this is how the LGBT+ community started, it is not what defines the LGBT+ community, as not all individuals of a certain sexuality, gender, or relationship type are oppressed to the same extent.
The LGBT+ community is a space for anyone who is not [[queern't]], whether oppressed harshly or not. The LGBT+ community is supposed to promote diversity in sexuality, sex, gender, and relationships, which by nature includes [[A-Spec|a-spec]], [[Ethical Non-Monogamy|non-monogamous,]] and any [[queer]] identities. So long as they are lacking representation and validation in media and everyday life, and are safe and consensual, they are LGBT+.

E.C.L.I.P.S.E. (Education, Culture, Language, Intelligence, Preservation, Sexy, Exclusionist) is a term some exclusionists use for the "exclusionist community."
==Flags==
The flags were coined by Twitter exclusionist @tomnooksfatass.The three main flags used by E.C.L.I.P.S.E. are the eclipse flag, which represents all exclusionists, the solar eclipse flag, which represents man- and masculine-aligned exclusionists, and the lunar eclipse flag, which represents woman- and feminine-aligned exclusionists.<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://twitter.com/tomnooksfatass/status/1286101331632181248}}</ref>
