> Your statement of being "LGBT / neutral" seems strange to me

I think the / in that sentence is supposed to be read as "and", so:

> I am LGBT and neutral regarding the the use of pronouns.

I read it as:

> I am lesbian, gay, bi-, trans-, and neutral regarding the the use of pronouns.

which doesn't make any sense.

LGBT means any of the above. Like STEM.
