Different groups or different people may choose to use different acronyms. The downvotes are likely from the implication that this is an annual change or 'flavour'.
Here is a discussion about this (as well other variations in terminology for ethnicity, homeless/unhoused, and more) from a UManitoba linguistics professor: https://theconversation.com/bipoc-or-ibpoc-lgbtq-or-lgbtq2s-who-decides-which-terms-we-should-use-159188
Tagging @Whitebrow@lemmy.world as well since they had a related question
Thanks for actually providing a rundown instead of just downvoting.
While I understand that some people can be upset about this, I don’t typically keep up with this sort of stuff and seeing it mutate from one article to another while discussing more or less the same things (mostly protections, rights and such) does put it in the same mutable box of flavours for me.
The fact that the community as a whole can’t even come to a consensus of which one to consistently use signals (to me) instability and infighting rather than a unified power in diversity.
I’ll check the article and read on about what this one specifically signifies but the people who don’t bother saying anything because their whole life revolves around this, and know the ins and outs of it all, really need a wake up call from the ones who at least bother asking or are open to discussion about it rather than just shunning/downvoting them and moving on.
Why do they get two letters?
Not sure why people downvoting you. I don’t know what this years flavour is either. Last I remember there was AI or IA or something in there too. And now that’s gone.
People it seems, want people to already know these things. Like normal humans use these acronyms in real life. I dont know anyone in the real world, who uses this in communication methods unless forced to by a company or school.
