Remove poorly-attested jargon?[edit source]
A bunch of jargon on this page doesn't seem to have ever been in use by any part of the LGBT community, and don't seem to have appeared in use anywhere other than in an article where somebody proposed them. Do you think we should retire those poorly-attested entries to the Talk page, to make the glossary itself more useful and representative of jargon really used by the LGBT community any time during its history? -Sekhet (talk) 03:45, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- Nm, I went ahead and did it. :) I made this decision because I'm the one who put so much extreneous stuff in the glossary in the first place, in an effort to make it thorough! See below. -Sekhet (talk) 05:32, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- This looks good. I am slighly unsure of a few though. "TME / TMA" is a term that I was unfamilar with but is in common use (at least where I live), we don't have it anywhere else on the wiki, so it seems good to have here. Also perhaps "trap" and "qirl". Falkirks (talk) 07:36, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
