While I agree that TQ+ needs to be separated from LGB, I think it’s dangerous to link GNC with “trans.” This puts GNC kids in the sex denial and chemical and surgical sex trait modification category.

Oh, 100% agreed. It's interesting to notice that just like the original ever-metastasizing acronym, this new one is also changing and acquiring cruft.

(Still waiting for someone in favor of the new acronym to notice that "gender non-conforming" gets 3 letters in the acronym, while everyone else gets just 1. Major equity implications in that, huh?...)

David thank you for teaching me a new word today- “cruft”. Originates from tech/software programming, meaning badly designed, or unnecessarily complicated. I agree there is a lot of cruft in identity politics and gender nonsense.
