You know what? It's really not hard to take it seriously. Have you fucking tried? You get a tiny bit of acceptance from society and already you're acting so fucking privileged. Were you all "don't rock the boat" when it was YOUR rights on the line, asshole?? Or are you too young even to remember that, merely a few years ago??
You can get irrationally angry if you want, but that accronym is useless as it is. They are meant to be short and something easy to remember. When people see that cluster fuck all they will think about is the ridiculousness of the acronym, rather than the troubles that community is going through.
I am in no way trying to diminish their struggles, just saying that the acronym as it is doesn't help. It just serves to push people away from educating themselves on the actual issues.
