An inclusionist, commonly shortened to inclus, is a discourse term to refer to a person who believes the core purpose of the LGBT+ community is individual expression. They tend to care more about personal feelings over historical sources or definitions, and state that cishet approval is unnecessary, or sometimes even unwanted. While they prioritize making sure people feel comfortable with their label, they CAN inadvertently push harmful ideas of other sexualites by doing so (e.g; using biphobic stereotypes in order to support other M-spec identities like pansexuality). However, not all inclus are guilty of doing this.

Common inclusionist beliefs are (Note: People don't have to inherently have every of these views to be an inclusionist):
-the acronym is LGBTQ+, LGBTQIA+, or something similar
-aces and aros (including cishet ones) are part of the community
-asexuality and aromanticism are spectrums
-non-binary people can be lesbians or gay
-"gay" is an umbrella term that anyone with same gender attraction can use
-Mspec identities like pan, omnisexual, or polysexual are valid
-you do not need gender dysphoria to be transgender
-pronouns don't equal gender
-all pronouns are valid, including nounself and emoji pronouns
-Queer is a valid identity, and isn't a slur (some even say it never has been).
