Recently i found an article i missed that refers to something i wrote. http://oiiaustralia.com/oped-stop-erasing-intersex-acronyms/ (http://oiiaustralia.com/oped-stop-erasing-intersex-acronyms/) Alas comments are closed on it so i cannot respond there to make clear my views on the terms S&GD, TG, GLBTI etc.
But it's well worth my discussing here in more depth.
Why do i support the term S&GD Sex and Gender Diversity?

I prefer the term "Sex and Gender Diverse" to GLBTIQVWXYZ because it covers all options as far as I can see. Without excluding anyone it is comprehensive, and less of a mouthfull.
