#Vocabulary selection is important. Sometimes, a change of #terminology is idiotic at best. For example, we abolished #homelessness, now we only have #unhoused. Sorry, WTF? Changing from prostitute to sex-worker, that makes sense, as prostitution has always been tied to bad morals and judgement. Here using the slur argument has merit. I've not really been convinced with the r-word, but for those called such derogitorially, for them the change was #empowering, so I'm happy to run with it. /1

What does #Achillean mean in #LGBTQ+ #terminology?

Achillean refers to #men (or #male-#identifying #individuals) who are #attracted to other #men, but is used more like an #umbrellaterm for #gay, #bisexual, #pansexual, and otherwise #queer #men, and can include #trans and #nonbinary people who are also attracted to #men.
