An inclusionist is someone who does not gatekeep (i.e. exclude) members of a certain group from that group based on their identity or other factors. This is especially prevelant in the LGBTQIA+ community, where exclusionists often create in-fighting and discord in the group over identities and create division within the group. Other groups (often marginalized) outside of LGBTQIA+ also often experience these types of division. Many inclusionists realize that in-fighting is not the way to overcome the oppression these groups experience, and only by working together and creating an inclusionist community, they can all overcome stigma from those outside the group.
1. Anna is a pansexual inclusionist and bisexual. She understands that someone who's pansexual is attracted to people regardless of gender, and that it doesn't invalidate her sexuality.
2. Elliot is a bisexual inclusionist, and is gay. He knows that bisexual people aren't just "straight people who want to be special" like some exclusionists think.
3. I heard that Andrew changed his mind about asexuality and became an inclusionist! After he opened his mind and talked to asexual people, he realized he didn't understand what it meant and was wrong.
4. I hope that one author realizes her mistakes and starts being a transgender inclusionist. Feminism that excludes trans people puts women into a box of what femininity is "supposed" to be that can hurt cis women too.
5. I'm a trans man, but neopronouns don't bother me. I consider myself an inclusionist, and I think people can use whatever pronouns make them comfortable in their body.

An exclusionist is a person who gatekeeps (i.e. excludes) certain people or identities from a group. This is particularly prevalent in the LGBTQ+ community, but also occurs in other (usually minority) groups as well. Often times exclusionists stubbornly maintain one viewpoint without attempting to understand those they exclude, even after having their mindsets thoroughly debunked by inclusionists. Exclusionists often treat identities as "clubs" and "in-groups" that they exclude others from in order to feel more valid in their own identities, usually not realizing that those outside the group often do not understand the differences and subject all identities to judgement and oppression.
1. Penny is a pansexual exclusionist. She says that pansexuals invalidate bisexual and trangender people, but that makes no sense. She doesn't get that bisexuality is the attraction to two or more genders, and that pansexuality is the attraction that is not determined by gender, and that neither invalidates other identities.
2. You're a bisexual exclusionist because you think you can only be gay or straight, no in-between? Dude, you know that bisexuality isn't always an attraction to just men and just women, right?
3. Did you hear Andrew is an ace exclusionist? He keeps saying he excludes asexual and aromantic people from LGBTQ+ because he doesn't know the difference between asexuality and abstinence. He really needs to do some research.
4. You know that one author? Turns out she's a TERF, which means she excludes transgender people from feminism because they weren't born female. What a boomer.
5. I'm genderfluid, and use neopronouns. If you're an exclusionist and you don't think my identities are valid, don't interact!
