In 21th century, it's been criticized by LGBTI organizations, such as ABGLT, since simpatizante (freely translated as sympathizer) othered [[bisexual]], [[travesti]] and [[transgender]] individuals. However, many other individuals felt included as well under the acronym GLS, such as [[asexual]]s, [[cishet]] [[Drag Performers|drag queens]], [[queerhet]]s, among others, a thing that isn't enough represented thourgh mainstream abbreviations of what we call today as the alphebet mafia, or LGBTcedário, as some use derogatorily nowadays.
