From now on I think I’m just going to shorten it to IBC - the Infantile Bilge Coalition.

Perfectly shortened. Stealing this. Thanks!

I love Jon Kay’s “genderwang” word. I’ve used it often.

Steal away. It might just catch on. 😄

It's extremely peculiar to live in a world in which insanity has become mainstream, rather than either marginalized or regarded as something to be treated. If I didn't already identify as a kangaroo, I'd be worried about remaining part of the society of humans.

You’re sounding much too reasonable. Why aren’t you having tantrums because you’re not included in the infantile alphabet?

That's a good point, they need to add a K to those letters... If anybody wants to send me money I'll start funding a campaign. Honestly, that's what I'll use the money for. It's the only sane way forward.

We all still know what the '+' is for, though, right?

Anyone who will cry or self harm if we left them out?

My gay friend has a joke that every letter after “LG” is for straight people looking for attention

Credit where it is due. She managed to say that with a straight face. Quite an achievement.

Rainbow fascists.

Excellent article Andrew. I get your point about declining support for gay and lesbian rights. So much sensible campaigning for equality now at risk from fringe activists who are hoping for what exactly? I’m looking at you Zak Polanski and your silly stage dancing designed to fool us into thinking that you are harmless.

Btw, my favourite word in this article is ‘hodgepodge’ - will be trying to slip that into casual chats this weekend.

She’s not even Indigenoux (lol) but only 1/4 (allegedly) Lakota. She threatened to sue the Author who exposed this.

Dusty Masterson's avatar

I bet the Lakotas are not very happy about that!!!

I stand corrected: one of her grandmothers may have been a half-indigenous so our heroinex is very much proving that race is a social construct.

I had to do it. I looked up "LGBTQIATakatapuiMVPFAFF+" and had an acronym breakdown!

I have a pragmatic suggestion. Can we rename the movement to ICD revision 11+? (ICD stands for International Classification of Diseases and the + is to include future revisions) This way we can make sure every loony is covered and we can finally relax because ICD is regularly updated.

South Park in the song “Blame Canada” nailed it in 1999 with the lyrics “they are not even a real country anyways”.

As a Canuck (Canadian) I heartily endorse this quote as we are not all lumberjacks, eh?

Now you've started us off!!

Are you sure this person isn't another one of your creations, Andrew? 😜

I am offended that you have not referenced the LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA+ community.

Dusty Masterson's avatar

And the WTF LOL community.

On a side note, I thought British people said 'hotchpotch' vs. American 'hodgepodge'?

I actually had a brief moment of hope that the friends of MMIWG would get so offended by having their cause lumped in with 2SLGBTQQIA+ that they would demand that every woke person remove the 2SLGBTQQIA+ from the acronym and thus the whole thing will disappear! Then I woke up.
