QANSTIVEM Symbols

QANSTIVEM, pronounced "Kan-Steve-Em", is another inclusionist acronym that is meant to serve as an alternative to LGBT+ but instead of naming specific identities and leaving the rest to "+" this is comprised of umbrella terms as to be as equal as possible. This is to avoid the ever increasing LGBTQIA+ acronym's problem of needing to add more letters to be representative though is not meant to replace LGBT+ as it is a historic acronym with large amounts of sentimental and historical value, this is purely meant to be an alternative. It was inspired by a group of inclusionist symbols^[1] created by the original coiner. The acronym stands for:

• Queer & Questioning
• A-spec, Agen-spec, & Amplus-spec
• Nonbinary & Nonconforming
• Similar gender attraction
• Transgender+
• Intersex
• Varioriented
• Ethical Non-Monogamy & Exclusive Identities
• Multi-spec & Multigender

In this case, "Similar gender attraction" refers to a combination of achillean, sapphic, & diamoric.
