An exclusionist, commonly shortened to exclus, is a discourse term to refer to a person who believes the core purpose of the LGBT+ community is group protection. They tend to care more about historical sources or definitions over personal feelings. They believe that cishet approval is needed in order for lgbt individuals to have rights. Since they prioritize history, they can sometimes dismiss people's feelings, and even boss people around (e.g; "you can't identify as pansexual, it's biphobic). However, not all exclus are guilty of doing this.
Common exclusionist beliefs are (Note: People don't have to inherently have every of these views to be an exclusionist):
-the acronym is LGBT, or sometimes LGBT+
-ace and aro aren't inherently LGBT, they would need to either have same gender attraction, or be trans
-asexuality and aromanticism are not spectrums ("either you're ace or you're not")
-lesbians need to be women, and gays need to be men. Non-binary people are feminamoric or viramoric
-"gay" is a term that's only meant for men who only like men, lesbians and bisexuals should not use the term to refer to themselves
-Mspec identities like pan, omnisexual, or polysexual are not valid, and contribute to biphobia
-some form of gender dysphoria is needed in order to be transgender
-pronouns = gender
-either no neopronouns are valid, or only traditional neos like xe/xem are valid
-Queer is a slur, and shouldn't be used as a term for anyone to use to refer to the community

Get the Exclusionist mug.an exclusionist is someone who gatekeeps (excludes) specific sexualities and pronouns from the LGBTQ+ community. most of them excuse sexualities that may be harming others (pansexuality vs bisexuality discourse). exclusionist, unlike inclusionist, can have different beliefs about different sexuality, as one person might not support neopronouns while an other does or some might support the aro/ace spectrum (most do) while others don't. they're the contrast to inclusionist who accept every nounselfs, xenogender, neogender and sexuality despite whether its harmful or not.
1. I consider myself as an exclusionist, I don't support pansexuality and think its harming to the bisexual and transgender community, but that doesn't mean I don't support neopronouns or the aro/ace community!
2. Some exclusionists usually don't support nounself pronouns like fae/faer as they think they are unnecessary when there are already neopronouns (xe/xim/xer) and a neutral pronoun (they/them)
3. I don't believe that English needs neopronouns (xe/xim/xer etc.) as it already has a neutral pronoun (they/them) but some languages that don't have it should totally use them!
4. I have exclusionist views as I think pansexuality is biphobic and transphobic as 1) bisexuals can be genderblind and love people outside of the gender binary just as pansexuals can (see: bisexual manifesto) and 2) pansexuals don't exclusively love trans men and women and they count in the gender binary!

Get the Exclusion mug.Someone part of the lgbtq+ community who doesn't think being asexual makes you inherently queer. This argument is obviously flawed because lack of sexual attraction makes you not heterosexual therefore you aren't straight being something else then straight you are queer. some Ace Exclusionists don't think asexuals are persecuted enough so they take matters into their own hands.

ace 2: Ignore them you are valid!

Get the Envisionation mug.TEF for short. People who uphold or reinforce the patriarchy while being exclusionary of trans people. "TERF" is often used when "TEF" should be used instead as those who uphold the patriarchy are not true feminists since feminism is about dismantling the patriarchy.
