my bestie in christ, scientifically excluding a population is not the same as treating a community with prejudice. trans people are excluded from the acronym in the title because there isn’t data on us. it would be misleading and inaccurate to include us in those statistics.
Is this not them being more specific? It is specifically calling to lesbian, gay, and bisexual folks and explicitly not including transgender and gender diverse folk, as per the study
gay, lesbian and bisexual Americans vape at significantly higher rates
Conclusive data on transgender users was unavailable, the authors noted.
(I do however understand the knee jerk reaction to seeing LGB on its own. Fuck terfs.)
What’s up with lgbtq nation using the right wing lgb phrasing?
RTFA
That tracks as we usually “don’t smoke” (idk if you still have to quit to get hormones but you used to)
that doesn’t answer my question why they’re using right wing terf phrasing
its still lgbtq+ not lgb

they could start by not excluding trans people. you refer to them just like i said; the lgbtq+ community
Agreed, but it would be inaccurate here, seeing as trans people don’t vape as much.

But this article isn’t about the whole community, right?
