It’s a bit obnoxious. I make this excellent chili for family gatherings and nobody ever calls it just “chili”. They always say “vegan chili”.
The other day I made some pumpkin bread. When me and my dad went over to my grandmas house, we brought it. My dad announced “She made some vegan pumpkin bread!”. Grandma knows I am vegan. So of course if I made it, it will be vegan, no need to state that.
I know this is a really stupid pet peeve that will probably get me downvoted to oblivion, but idk. Maybe someone here also gets it.
As one of the letters in that soup, I’ll let you all in on a big secret (it’s a good day for it): LGBTQXYZ does not exist. It refers to a bunch of completely different groups, some of them pretty ill-defined. They don’t hang out together and their interests sometimes contradict each other.
Luckily there’s an easy solution to the problem. Just try to think of people as individuals rather than as members of groups. And don’t get stressed about causing offense. If you just behave like a normal tolerant human being, everything will be fine.
