This sounds like the NPC I make up on the spot when the players ask the guard their name
TheOakTree@lemm.ee 1 day ago
Pick a name and use it for every guard, except switch the first consonant every time.
They will get a kick out of it a few times, and then slowly learn that there’s no point in asking the guard’s name.
Lambert, Hambert, Tambert, Kambert, and Dambert all come from a long lineage of esteemed city guards :)

That’s kinda neat. Out of curiosity did they tell you their name in the dream or did you just sort of know it?

They told me. I was at work and introducing myself to someone new. Looking back now, I think it was a girl I went to highschool with but her name most certainly wasn’t Fobertleigh back then.

“The terms pansexual, omnisexual, fluid and queer-identified are regarded as falling under the umbrella term bisexual (and therefore are considered a part of the bisexual community). Some use LGBT+ to mean “LGBT and related communities”.[29] Other variants may have a “U” for “unsure”; a “C” for “curious”; another “T” for “transvestite”; a “TS”, “2S”, or “2” for “two-spirit” persons; or an “SA” for “straight allies”.[48][49][50][51][52] The inclusion of straight allies in the LGBT initialism has proven controversial, as many straight allies have been accused of using LGBT advocacy to gain popularity and status in recent years,[53] and various LGBT activists have criticised the heteronormative worldview of certain straight allies.[54] Some may also add a “P” for “polyamorous” or “pangender”, an “H” for “HIV-affected”, or an “O” for “other”.[14][55] The initialism LGBTIH has seen use in India to encompass the hijra third gender identity and the related subculture.[56][57]”
Only Anglo-Saxons can make not being straight an overly structured and semantically confusing endeavour, lol. 🤷

as a member of the letter gang, can we just call ourselves the letter gang and be done with it?

I propose it should be changed to PFQ: “Pretty Fucking Queer” 🏳️🌈

There are straight trans people in the LGBT community. It’s not as simple as “not straight”.
Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I usually only hear LGBTQIA+ which has the I for intersex and the A Aro/Ace spectrum. The Q is just queer which is a an umbrella term for everything. I don’t really see the issue with others though, I also wouldn’t know how to make it less complicated in any language. Describing oneself as straight is just comparatively easy as it one thing rather than every other sexuality + also gender stuff. Being homosexual is also just one word and no more difficult.

I think the point is that the classification into discrete categories is kind of contrary to the point of queerness.
Default_Defect@midwest.social 1 day ago
If “queer” is an umbrella term then why wouldn’t the whole community just referred to as such?
felsiq@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
As a way to simplify, I’ve always like GSM: Gender and Sexual Minorities. Seems to encompass everything without prioritizing any of the letters, and doesn’t require choosing an arbitrary stop point for which letters to list or not list.
lemmyknow@lemmy.today 1 day ago
Interesting that Q essntially fills up for every other character in the initialism, incluing the + which essenially acts as an etc. to said initialism. One can pretty much choose and pick which letters to use when crafting their usage of an initialism, and which letters to hide in the +. One could call it the LBT+ community, or the L+, or T+. Or B+. Or just call it + for maximum efficiency. Or you could just call it the Q community, as Q encompasses everything else. What some otherwise call the Queer community

I actually love when a new overspelled name comes out. It gives me more fuel for when I screw up peoples names from the short form. Jessleigh, Jessifer, Jessbinder, Jessolomew, etc.

The humour in this to not include 2S+ is the best part

There does seem to be a varying number of letters in it and sometimes a plus

Breh, what kid? I just discovered some people make half my rent and live a more meaningfull life.
Btw we live in small appartment, not some luxurious private island you’d expect for that kind of money.
Fuck this economy xD

To be honest, I think we should just switch to using “queer” at this point. The Q covers everything.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 22 hours ago
It still makes me uncomfortable as an old fart Gen Xer from back when it was exclusively used as a slur, but I recognize it’s been reclaimed. It’s just a hard association to break.
uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 hours ago
I just use LGBT+ since it was LGBT for a long time (it was GLBT but the Ls earned their place at the front during the AIDS crisis) then it became LGBTQ, then a bunch of other letters were added while the community was recognizing is profound variety before it turned into LGBTQ+
Q+ has a nice ring to it, but since I’m an unusual form of NB, I fit squarely into the catch-all variety of Q.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Five letters is fine, but I’m not subscribed to the new’s letter for knowing what all the add-ons to it mean. It never changes anything for me to know anyway. Just treat people with dignity. “Queer” should be fine at this point for casual use.
jsomae@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
In my daily dealings with fellow queers™, I find most people say “LGBT” in casual speech instead of other variations of the acronym, occasionally adding the “Q”, but I’ve never heard somebody casually drop a “LGBTQIA+.” I think we all know that LGBT is inclusive; that, or there’s a silent ellipsis at the end.
