 ==Remove poorly-attested jargon?==
 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? -[[User:Sekhet|Sekhet]] ([[User talk: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. -[[User:Sekhet|Sekhet]] ([[User talk:Sekhet|talk]]) 05:32, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
+==Poorly-attested jargon==
+The below entries have been removed from the main article because they seem not to have been used much in the LGBT community, or are slightly off-topic for this wiki. Many are pronouns that were proposed, but not used, or not used widely. Other entries moved here may have been used in the LGBT community, but are too far off the topic of nonbinary gender, such as jargon strictly about LGB people. Some entries moved here are outdated psychiatric terms that were rarely used. Others are entries that don't seem to need dictionary definitions as much, because they're so well-known or speak for themselves, such as "gay" or "gender neutral." If you move any entries from the Talk page back into the main article, please add another source showing its notability, relevance to nonbinary people specifically, and that it has seen significant usage.
