A speaker argues that the LGBTQ umbrella term mixes so many identities that precise definitions become impossible, making it hard to defend positions. They give an example: being called transphobic for declining to date a trans man.
Everything just get mixed up in each other and just a huge, huge, huge umbrella term, lgbtq, where it's hard for even regular gay people to understand what, like, some of these terms mean.

For example, for some people in the community, I'm seen as transphobic because I won't date a trans man.
