  • “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. 🤷





  • Idk about going forward in general besides truly believing that people are fundamentally ‘good’ and there’s almost always nothing to fear… but I do think you’re gonna have to apologise to the lady and explain what happened. It ain’t a crime to be shy, and it would reassure her. Maybe compliment her if you’re feeling brave! Or at least say something like “it’s kinda cool to approach people randomly, I wish I were as comfortable…”, that sounds like a good follow up to the apology.
