There's a difference in intent when you hear some people purposefully jumbling the letters and s******ing.Surely one can find the alphabetic mouthful a little ludicrous, but at the same time support awareness of, and support of, people who's gender and sexuality do not fit in with the old fashioned man, woman, hetero paradigm?
What is the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community?
What feelings did I make clear?

Apparently the LGBT Movement is Now Called '2SLGBTQQIA+'
Is the word 'woke' defined at any point in this thread, or is it merely bandied about in place of an actual argument?Father Jack let me know if you think you've got something to say.
One day they’ll add one I can identify with personally

I always took it to mean being awake to difference and diversity being included within our single world. Inferring of course that anyone who can't or won't accept societal inclusion is still asleep.
Of course I might be wrong in that.

It'll go out of fashion the same way virtue signalling went in and out of vogue.Is the word 'woke' defined at any point in this thread, or is it merely bandied about in place of an actual argument?
According to who?
I actually agree with you that the acronym here is ******* unworkable.
Good for you. Have a nice day.My objection goes beyond just the unworkability of it.
Apparently 2SLGBTQQIA+ stands for Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual. I'm not sure what the + is.
So according to this rationale we should fractionate people by sexuality but only in regards to certain elements of sexuality. Should we add the spanking community to the list? Or doggers, swingers and bondage lovers.
Gender is a different thing to biology and different to sexuality. There's a tiny minority who are intersex ie. born with sexual anatomy that doesn't fit the boxes of male or female. There are biological males who identify as females. There are biological females who identify as males. They may be attracted to males or females. They may have sexual preferences of all the range.
But then it's grouped all together as though they have some common identity. I don't think that's valid.
So they totally missed the point of why people were upset with what happened to George Floyd then?I first heard this story from the women at work, who were talking about it. They were not suprised in the least that noone tried to stop a black man committing a crime in the current climate. Can anyone imagine some white knight running in and putting him in a headlock or putting him on the ground with your knee on his back. I guess gathering phone evidence is the most they can expect now.
The French have appointed a department and minister for anti-wokeness.
“Our country has become a target of the woke movement,” said Pierre Valentin, an expert at the new think tank Le Laboratoire de la République. “If there was a vaccine against the woke virus, it would be French and the leaders of the movement know that.”Le Laboratoire de la République is headed by French Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer and is tasked with combating what the minister calls U.S.-imported wokeism — woke being a term from the United States that originally meant being alert to racial prejudice and discrimination but which is now used by the right as a catch-all insult for the political left and progressive causes.“The [French] Republic is completely contrary to wokeism,” Blanquer said in an interview with Le Monde. “In the United States, this ideology provoked a reaction and led to the rise of Donald Trump.” He added: “France and its youth have to escape that.”
