GLB(ISGD)Q stands for: Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, (Intersex, Sex and/or Gender Diverse), Queer. The letter 'T' for 'transgender' is often used in this acronym, but as an umbrella term it is incorrect and offensive to many people who don't consider themselves 'transgender'. They may be 'trans', or' transsexual', or 'transexed' or 'intersex' or 'androgynous' or without sex or gender, or many other terms. Intersex, Sex and Gender Diverse as an umbrella term is much more inclusive.
