An injury to one truly is an injury to all.

I beg you, please stop adding letters. Just say queer. Constantly expanding the acronym is the sort of thing bigots would do in parody, if they were capable of genuine humor. Doing it to ourselves is no less of a joke.
You can just say queer if you prefer to, or LGBTQ+. And LGBT was coined in 1988 so we added like 5 letters in 35 years. Is that so hard?
Yes - eleven-syllable references are wildly excessive. Especially when the consistent alternative is one. Seeing all these meandering additions and substitutions, mostly in very recent times, is actively unhelpful to a movement that strives for solidarity. You don't get that by rattling off every sub-group, as if anyone who's not mentioned by name is unwelcome.
I see, not hard for me so maybe it's the curse of knowledge.

The movement clearly disagrees, so... I guess your advice won't come to fruition. Anyway, you're free to pick your own terms as long as it's in good faith.
