Counter-Sexual

Instead of LGBTQIA or whatever insane number of lettered acronyms are created to describe the plethora of non-traditional, non-heterosexual relationships of some people, how about call people who don't fit into typical heterosexual standards, COUNTER-SEXUAL. Just like with counter-culture, which is COUNTER to the mainstream, COUNTER to traditional most popular culture, COUNTER-SEXUAL becomes a similar word to describe anyone from that population when referring in GENERAL. When speaking in specifics then someone can still say, gay, lesbian, transgender, intersex etc....otherwise in general reference, it could be COUNTER-SEXUAL which is much more simple and to the point, more literal and less complicated, less controversial or uncomfortable, more neutral while still honoring the differences while trying to include all the different types of sexualities-which could end up using the entire alphabet!

Studies show that there are more counter-sexual characters in mainstream television shows since 2014.

The counter-sexual movement includes all types of sexualities that are not heterosexual.

My brother is an OG*, an Original Geek, because he's been working with computers since the late 70's!

Skynical

2. A combination of cynical and skeptical; when you are feeling a little bit of both emotions regarding something but neither one completely describes your state of mind.

'I'm quite skynical about today's pop culture. I don't trust it and think it's lacking in substance'.

'Don't be skynical!'
