For reference, I am a trans girl and pretty sure I’m Endosex. I do not know any openly intersex people IRL.

Is the term GRSM inclusive of intersex people, and if not and it should be, what alternatives besides LGBTQIA+ are? (I’ve heard Quiltbag and Mogai as well but apparently they are both problematic? Idk but apparently Quiltbag feeds into gay stereotypes and Mogai divides the overrall community but I have no idea).

I would appreciate responses from Intersex comrades if possible, but I’d love any form of help on this issue. Thanks <3

    Sexual minorities can be interpreted as either an intersex person, or as a person with a sexual orientation other than heterosexuality, so I always interpreted it as being inclusive of intersex. I don’t know what the general consensus is, but I don’t see any reason why anyone would exclude intersex people from it other than bigotry.

      it would be very strange to have the motivations that get you to preferring GSRM over LGBTetc and immediately turn around not including intersex people

      i haven’t heard anyone ask OP’s question and i wouldn’t think to ask it because I assume it would be so inclusive because the point of it is including all of us without needing a letter for every pokemon. Good on OP looking out.
