2S means Two-Spirit , it is a modern umbrella term used by some indigenous North Americans to describe gender-variant individuals in their community.

Not Google, that's how I've usually seen it referred to online and in print here. But the dominant conventions may differ between countries and sources etc.

No, dominant conventions do not differ between countries or sources. LGBTQ and in particular LGBT is the founding acronym recognised by or used by the LGBTQ community, the online or print source you mention would not be recognised as reputable by LGBTQ community.
OP I hope I haven't hurt you in any way. If so I feel bad and can only say I have bad times, sometimes I lash out but I am working on it. Same to others on the site.

Are these enough examples for you below, with regards to Australia? They include community organisations, Government organisations, news sites and even the Sydney mardi gras. You presumably can't get a source much more iconic and recognised as reputable by that community than the mardi gras!
I didn't say that LGBT wasn't the founding convention, but it has been appended to over time, just as the very early term 'gay community' was in the first place. To say there is current debate over what letters the term should and should not include is entirely correct. To say that LGBT or LGBTQ is the default term in many places also has validity. But to suggest that the term LGBTQI+ is not recognised by the gay community is completely incorrect, and could only come from a position of either ignorance or contrariness.

This is still a forum on the internet. There are still bad apples. Not as many as Reddit or Twitter. I have had to ''ignore'' a few rude people on here. But I do find the majority of people on here are friendly. I wish the best for you.

Mmh here it has been fine, but in a discord chat connected to this someone was mean to me, saying that i was complaining and they had real problems unlike mine. I left the chat and never entered again

That happens sometimes on the forum, too. And for reference to those who know, I'm not only referring to the flame thread that got deleted yesterday.
If you like discord chat and otherwise get benefit from it, I hope one person's self-absorbed and ign'ant perspective doesn't keep you from there.

Well done . You have managed to argue even on acronyms . 
I wanted to say that yesterday but I stopped myself . I was thinking: 'give it more time , they can do better and really derail this train off the rails' .

Exactly! The initial mention was to show support of OP. There was no cruelty to defend or oppose.
Now in support of all gay, straight, trans, non-binary, whatever you identify as, just let it go.

Fr though, I just say LGBT+ or as @K-O said, queer works just as well, I didn't think this post would get that derailed tbh

All the people are different, but to be honest this forum is a friendly community itself. Especially if you have something to compare to. The subject of this forum, for example, can be not acceptable for others, but we still are not seeing loads of negative comments and twelve divisions of trolls like almost everywhere else.
That's sad you are facing rudeness here though you do not deserve to, but at the same time we cannot be good to everybody and we were raised in a different environment. Plus one manner of communication can be okay for one and rude for other and that touches all possible subjects. I don't know who let you down, but you can be sure there are people who won't. For all evil there is good and for all good - evil.

Stuff from other threads brought over and derailing this one. Can cause confusion for passengers.
Hmmm....couldn't it be due to this when I suggested not encouraging people to potentially commit felonies without fully understand the consequences?

People are cringe bro. Never assume that people will be different just because you have something in common with them. Even the nicest people are just as cruel as everyone else you meet in life when they get an opportunity to be.

Yeah another e
No. It's just another excuse for an arrogant pompous and preachy nature. It's quite clear and evident in your nature of repeatedly bringing previous thread topics up in other threads. You have an overall attitude in every sentence and match OPs complaint to the letter. Lol.
