Exclusionist 

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

exclusionist 

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!

Ace Exclusionist 

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 1: Damn I'm really sad today I got harassed by an ace exclusionist online.

ace 2: Ignore them you are valid!

exclusionist 

another way of saying sexy smart bitches. exclusionists are people who hold exclusionary beliefs about the lgbt community, including, but not limited to, fighting against lesbian, gay, and bisexual erasure, supporting the medicalization of trans healthcare, and sticking by lgbt history.

the term originated from ace discourse on whether or not aces and aros were lgbt, but is now much broader. an exclusionist may even believe aces/aros *are* lgbt; if the rest of their beliefs are exclusionist beliefs, they are a neutralist with an extremely heavy exclus lean, and may choose to say they're exclus for convenience.

contrary to popular belief, not all exclus hate people who disagree with them. many exclus are friends with neutralists, inclus, other exclus, and anyone in-between, as long as both parties agree to disagree. the majority of them follow the classic "hate the sin, not the sinner," rhetoric, with "sins" being problematic lgbt identities.
1) Heidi is an exclusionist. She's a lesbian against lesbian erasure, sometimes called a longsword lesbian. She believes that he/him lesbians and non-binary lesbians erase lesbian history, and is overall a very sweet, knowledgable person.

2) Michael is a neutralist with an extremely heavy exclusionist lean. He is a gay man against she/her gays and non-binary gays, but thinks aces and aros are lgbt. Despite their disagreements, him and Heidi are best friends. Some people call him a galaxy-knife gay or hand-grenade gay due to his views.

3) Damien is a transgender man. He recognizes that his gender dysphoria is part of his transgenderism, as it is a direct side effect of the disconnect between his gender and sex. He is strongly against people who claim anyone can be transgender, and is extremely supportive of medicalizing trans healthcare. People like him may choose to describe themself as a "trident trans."

4) Mimi is a bisexual woman against bi erasure. She recognizes the harmful and biphobic, transphobic roots of pansexuality, and has done thorough research on the subject. She strives to educate supporters of pansexuality, omnisexuality, polysexuality, and all of its siblings. She sometimes uses the descriptor "battleaxe bisexual."

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
