@star tho I would have probably missed it if you didn't say so

none of the iOS clients seem to support it (for getting notified at least), I might have to do some frickeling

@star switched clients just for you, so I could see them ^w^

@star @zenmaya the problem is that there is this much potential for arguing about what is included in FLINTA or not, at all. And in reality people will just assume wildly different things, e.g. like we witnessed at Datenspuren

@star @zenmaya Not if they identify as a man. If a person is a cis endo man, and gnc, they would not fall under FLINTA, strictly speaking. Whether that is the intention (of e.g. event organizers) would be a question worth asking. IMO it leads to the conclusion that FLINTA is not a very useful term to use.

@star @zenmaya sorry for being pedantic, but no – "Frau" is "woman" and "female" is "weiblich", those mean different things (even if they do coincide usually, in the gender binary) /lh

@zenmaya @star hm, "femme" carries a slightly different meaning in my head. There are plenty of people who'd call themselves a femme but not a woman

@star @zenmaya ehh.. that's a stretch. and yep it does give an ick

fugi@fed.amazonawaws.com

@star @zenmaya Yeah but, not everyone can do that at all times. And people are lazy. If they weren't, there wouldn't be questions what it means, all the time (even on the internet) ^^ /lh

@star @zenmaya It actually would not be the same acronym if translated into English, and it's not used in English either

And how should one figure out what it might mean if one is not deeply into queer feminist terminology, even more so in a different language?
I see people asking what "FLINTA" means all the time. So if it's used, I think it would be good to explain – for the audience it should address, for everyone it doesn't, for non (native) German speakers and to reduce ambiguity in general ^^
(Which is also one of the issues I have with the acronym)
