There's a new acronym we need to learn: LGBTIQ
« on: August 25, 2010, 01:43:56 PM »
Now I always thought from reading the DUmp that the acronym was complete with LGBT-Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender.  But NO!

It has changed, it is now LGBTIQ: Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Intersex and Questioning.

:wtf2:

This thread inspired my research into this matter:

I've learned today that lgbtiq people can't really know
 Advertisements [?]

Their own minds about bigotry - the kinds of bigotry they face -
And that people in leadership positions
Who don't act like friends of the community
Really are.

It takes heteros to interpret our struggle for us.

You learn something new every day.

Would it be too much to ask to remove labels? it's so freaking annoying with people hyphenating themselves and labeling themselves.

Intersex?

Intersex in humans refers to intermediate or atypical combinations of physical features that usually distinguish female from male. This is usually understood to be congenital, involving chromosomal, morphologic, genital and/or gonadal anomalies, such as diversion from typical XX-female or XY-male presentations, e.g., sex reversal (XY-female, XX-male), genital ambiguity, sex developmental differences. An intersex individual may have biological characteristics of both the male and female sexes.[1] Intersexuality as a term was adopted by medicine during the 20th century, and applied to human beings whose biological sex cannot be classified as clearly male or female.[2][3][4] Intersex was initially adopted by intersex activists who criticize traditional medical approaches to sex assignment and seek to be heard in the construction of new approaches.[5][6]

Some people (whether physically intersex or not) do not identify themselves as either exclusively female or male. Androgyny is sometimes used to refer to those without gender-specific physical sexual characteristics or sexual preferences or gender identity, or some combination of these.[7] This state may or may not include a mixture or absence of sexual preferences.[8][9]

Nothing about freekin Panthers in that...is there?

My Mom plays Bingo and there's someone who goes to Bingo that I can't figure out what sex they are at all, I've gone a few times with my Mom and watched to see if this person uses a bathroom so I can figure out what sex they are but they never go to the bathroom during Bingo.

Lots and lots of coffee might do the trick.  Slipping in a laxative might work too. :-)

167. Yeah, both of us know that's it a joke.
   
But really, what else would you expect from a bunch of clueless heteros? Really.

And Obama is a political animal... No surprise there either.


Let's face it, Government has things hosed... Why else do we post of this freaking board?

But... Call me a Pollyanna, I think that justice will prevail, in spite of it all.

That's what I'm hoping for.

Heheh, Too bad we're the majority, huh, ya asshole bandit?

Then there was this:

Well, Miskie, they are the most inclusive people on the planet.  So, then you'd have to include every strange sexual proclivity from foot fetishists to shades of Oedipus, to bestiality to, well, I can't go on. 

Otherwise, somebody might feel marginalized and excluded, and they wouldn't get a participation trophy.

It would just be easier to label it all as 'nontraditional sexuality' - which includes the slightly irregular all the way to full-on defective.

Actually, they are a major brand of bearings. They've been around longer than the pejorative term fag for teh Gheys.
