(Caption above the panels:)    How Standards Proliferate    (See: A/C chargers, character encodings, instant messaging, etc.)    (A text-only panel.)    Situation:     There are 14 competing standards.<br>
(Cueball and Ponytail stand facing each other.)    Cueball: 14?! Ridiculous! We need to develop one universal standard that covers everyone's use cases.    Ponytail: Yeah!    (Another text-only panel. The word "Soon:" appears in its own box at the upper left of the panel.)    Soon:    Situation:    There are 15 competing standards.

Believe it or not, there's a lot of queer people who are pretty bigoted against other groups under the queer label. The classic example being LGBdroptheT. The affirmations of specific groups are a reaction to that in-community bigotry, which sociologists call lateral violence. These all-encompasing terms like gsrm don't always fulfil the function of explicitly including groups that suffer lateral violence.

There's even trans people on Lemmy who claim that nounself pronouns are a transphobic trolling tactic.
