MOGAI= Marginalized orientations, gender alignments, and intersex.
MOGII= Marginalized orientations, gender identities, and intersex
For anyone who doesnt know, they’re blanket terms referring to anyone who isn’t a dyadic cisgender, hetereosexual/romantic person. They’re much shorter than LGBTQIAP+, not a slur like “queer”, and unlike GSRM (gender sex and romantic minorites) does NOT include cishet pedophiles and kinksters.
Now i have to bring up how MOGAI is wayyyy better to use than MOGII. You see, technically cishet dyadic women are still a marginalized gender IDENTITY, however they aren’t a marginalized gender ALLIGNMENT because they allign with their assigned gender. So basically MOGAI doesnt include cishet dyadic women and MOGII does (which kinda defeats the purpose)
“But won’t invasive allies try and steal the A??”
Ahh but theres the beautiful part about MOGAI, it simply wouldnt make sense if they did!
you see in LGBTQIAP+ where every letter just stands for an orientation or gender alignment, its easy for allies to go “it stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and allies!!” (I mean we wouldnt have this problem if the MOGAI community supported asexuals/aromantics over cishet allies but that’s for another time)However in MOGAI the word ally would make no sense! Marginalized orientations, gender allies, and intersex????? See my point? That just sounds silly and makes zero sense.
So to summarize, MOGAI is a great blanket term for anyone who isnt a dyadic cishet, which isn’t a slur, isn’t too wordy, and has no room for invasive allies. So basically its a pretty great acronym to use.
Interesting.
