why I’ve started using MOGAI

trigilis:

(Marginalised Orientations, Gender Alignments, and Intersex)

– a blanket term referring to everyone who isn’t a dyadic cisgender heterosexual and heteroromantic person.

  • it’s shorter, more inclusive and easier to pronounce than LGBTQIAP+
  • not a slur like “queer”
  • doesn’t have a history of including dyadic cishet kinksters, paedophiles, or rapists like GSRM (Gender, Sexual and Romantic Minorities) 
  • doesn’t include dyadic cishet women while excluding binary trans men like MOGII (Marginalised Orientations, Gender Identities, and Intersex) 
  • Allies can’t take the “A”, because “Marginalised Orientations, Gender Allies, and Intersex” wouldn’t make the least bit of sense
