New Name?

Now that we have Mod Amber, we can't exactly call ourselves "The A Team."

I'd suggest that we have something LGBT related, but I'm willing to accept cis aroaces as mods as well (because even though they're not LGBT, they're not straight either) and I don't want to change the name the first time one of them joins the team.

So, Amber, Freyja, Cosima - any ideas? Hell, I'm willing to take ideas from readers.

Maybe something about rebelling against heteronormativity? Last year, Freyja drew a comic that showed the two of us, a fellow activist named Leo (who was agender, pan, and somewhere on the ace/aro spectrum), and a fictional character they created named BAMF, as LGBT superheroes. It was called The Invisible Invincibles. I don't know, I kind of like that. But I'd rather have a list of options for the four of us to vote on.

  1. Actually, it might be okay because I think I might be a gray ace towards boys, so we don't have to change quite yet.

    1. Yeah, but even if you are a-spec, I dropped my aspec labels in August. I might still be aspec, but I just don't care. And the ace and aro communities had been so homophobic, transphobic, and ableist toward me when I was a part of them that even if I'm technically part of the aro/ace spectrum, I don't feel at all comfortable identifying with it.
