Genderfriend

A gender neutral term for a boyfriend, girlfriend, or an enbyfriend. It’s more commonly used for non-binary/genderqueer people, but it can be used for binary people, or to refer to partners of different gender identities.
It can also be used if your partner is genderfluid, demiboy, demigirl, bigender, pangender, omnigender, etc, and you don’t know what to call them at present.

“Are you two genderfriends?” The man asked the pair, as they were holding hands.
(Here this would be referring to two people of different genders.)

“Can you hand this to my genderfriend, Alex? They’re over there, in the green shirt.”
(Here this would be referring to an individual, who is likely non-binary or genderqueer.)

“I honestly think you have terrible taste in significant others. I’ve never liked ANY of your genderfriends.”
(Here this would be referring to someone’s multiple past partners of different genders that the speaker is expressing their dislike for.)

SAGA

SAGA is an acronym for Sexuality And Gender Acceptance. It can be used in the place of LGBTQ+/LGBTQIA for a variety of reasons, to name two:

1. A saga is an epic, long story, usually about bravery and heroism.

2. It’s shorter, yet still includes everyone in the community, and is easy to remember.

(Side-note: A straight and cisgender ally would support sexuality and gender acceptance, but since they’re not an oppressed group, they would still just be an ally of the SAGA community.)

“I’m a member of the SAGA community!” a bisexual person declared, while finger-gunning jokingly.

“Cool. I’m a cishet so I’m not a member, but I support the community!” replied their friend, an ally.
