    === Terms That Harm The LGBTQ+ Community ===
    === Terms That Harm The LGBTQ+ Community ===


    * '''Antihaemosexual'''/'''Antihaemoromantic''': a term used by individuals to describe "not being attracted to those who menstruate" which is [[Transphobia|transphobic]], [[Sexism|intersexist]], and fetishizing. '''Womaantihaemosexual''' is the same thing, but directed towards [[Female|women]] who do not menstruate, which is also transphobic, intersexist, and also leaves open pedophilic acts as well.

'''Womaantihaemosexual''' is the same thing, but directed towards [[Female|women]] who do not menstruate, which is also transphobic, intersexist, and also leaves open pedophilic acts as well.


    * '''Attack Helicopter''' ('''Gender'''): a term used by cishet (or rarely cisgender or binary LGBTQ+) individuals to make fun of those that are [[Non-Binary|non-binary]], [[transgender]], [[xenogender]], or [[noungender]]. It is also sometimes used to mock [[Alterhuman|alterhumans]]. Those with this "identity" claim to "identify as an attack helicopter" and often times use [[neopronouns]] they don't ''actually'' identify with in a mocking manner.

    * '''Aimagender'''/'''Autoaimagender''': two terms used to describe when ones gender is "affected by blood" or "affected by ones own blood." This term, along with its flag, promote self-harm; even if ones gender is affected by self harm, there should not be a term promoting it, as it can cause one to feel validated in their self-destructive behavior, and thus can cause recovery to be more difficult.


    * '''Barlosexual'''/'''Barloromantic''': a term used by individuals who attempt to normalize the zoophillic attraction to bees as an orientation rather than a [[Neurodivergent|disorder]], and normalize/encourage acting on said attraction.

    * '''Incestsexual'''/'''Incestromantic''': a term used by individuals who attempt to normalize incestual attraction/incestophilia as an orientation rather than a disorder, and normalize/encourage acting on said attraction.
    * '''Incestsexual'''/'''Incestromantic'''/'''Consang'''/'''Consanguinamory''': a term used by individuals who attempt to normalize incestual attraction/incestophilia as an orientation rather than a disorder, and normalize/encourage acting on said attraction. '''Congsang Punk''' is a movement based around normalizing incestual relationships.
    **'''Found Consang''': a term used by individuals who attempt to normalize incestual attraction/incestophilia to found family as an orientation rather than a disorder. While being attracted to found family isn't inherently a disordered attraction, it can be classified as such if one considers their found family to be like the traditional definition of a family (ie: considering them ones adopted family members/siblings.) This promotes acting on incestual urges and can harm everyone involved, regardless of whether they are related by blood.
    **'''Genderconsang''': when ones gender is connected to/related to "consanguiamory" in some way, possibly including having a consanguiamorous relationship oneself. This promotes acting on incestual urges to oneself or others.
    **'''Syscest'''/'''System Consang''': a [[system]] that is "consanguinamorous" to either another system, their system members, and/or someone else.


    * '''MAP'''/'''NOMAP'''/'''Child Lover'''/'''Girl Lover'''/'''Boy Lover''': a term used by individuals who attempt to normalize pedophilia as an orientation rather than a disorder, and normalize/encourage acting on said attraction. Some try to claim they are trans in age (not [[Regression|age-regress]] or [[System|age-slide]]) and call themselves '''Transage''', using their so-called mental age as an excuse/way to justify acting on their attraction.

    * '''Transracial''': a term used to describe someone who wishes to "transition in race." This often blackface, perpetuating harmful stereotypes, and an attempt to change ones body to "fit their true race." This is not the same as being disparethnic in a system, or having an alterhuman identity of a different race; alterhumans and headmates are often against this term, and do not try to "change the race" of their body. This term is also used to refer to kids adopted by families of a different race, which is an acceptable use.

    * '''Problematic Neopronouns''': [[neopronouns]] are most often a non-harmful concept, however there are a few words that cause harm/suffering to the community. For example, neos that use slurs are and neos that use a sensitive topics (ie: ab/abu/abuseself, ra/rape/rapeself, etc) are typically unacceptable and highly controversial.
