I was writing a blog post and wanted to make sure I was using the right words to talk about LGBTQIA+ issues--I Googled, and the National Athletic Trainers' Association LGBTQIA+ Terminology 101 comes up as top results. Great resource. Good to see athletics powering this.

@kin Thanks Kin for the great write-up. I actually share a lot of your concerns. I think that I love the “magic” of technology when it is useful (of course), understandable and when I can explain it.
