Initialisms such as LGBTTQQIAAP (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, ally, pansexual) have also resulted, although such initialisms are often criticized for being leaving some people out, as well as issues of placement of the letters within the new title. They are simultaneously criticized for being too confusing and too long to be used in normal speech. This has resulted in people attempting the create new acronyms, such as [[MOGAI]] (Marginalized Orientations, Gender And Intersex), MSGI (Minority Sexual and Gender Identities, GSD (Gender and Sexual Diversities), GSRM (Gender, Sexuality, and Romantic orientation Minorities) and similar terms, however LGBT continues to be the most widely recognized term. |
