    Folx was invented by queer people of color as not a gender neutral word, but a race neutral one. People of color are often excluded from queer spaces, so it's important to have this sort of language to include an extremely marginalized group of people.

    Also it makes cishet dorks mad. That alone is a massively important reason to keep it.

      Could you explain how it's race neutral compared to "folks?" I've never heard that and I'm curious.
