* '''GSM''' (gender and sexuality minorities), or '''GSRM''' (gender, sex, and romantic minorities). Criticisms of this term: This excludes some people it shouldn't, such as [[intersex]] people, whose sex is neither a gender nor a sexuality. This term has been considered harmful because it could include some kinds of people it shouldn't: people who aren't LGBT+, such as [[cisgender]] [[heterosexual]] people who consider themselves "sexuality minorities" because they have unusual sexual fetishes, or even harmful paraphilias such as pedophilia.<ref name="bird">{{cite web|author=Bird|title=About MOGAI and MOGII.|url=http://h0nex.tumblr.com/post/90496652455/about-mogai-and-mogii|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141119020133/https://h0nex.tumblr.com/post/90496652455/about-mogai-and-mogii|date=2014|archive-date=19 November 2014}}</ref> | * '''GSM''' (gender and sexuality minorities), or '''GSRM''' (gender, sex, and romantic minorities).

* '''MOGAI''' (marginalized orientations, gender alignments, and intersex), or '''MOGII''' (marginalized orientations, gender identities, and intersex). These terms include intersex people, while excluding people who aren't LGBT+.
