"LGBT" strikes me as an odd grouping.

[RayO_ElGatubelo]

Nowadays LGBT pretty much means someone who does not fit all of the following, rather than lesbian gay bisexual or transgender/sexual/vestite: 1. Male OR female. 2. Heterosexual.

Here's some definitions for those who don't know, I thought this might be handy for this topic. If I can remember sex ed correctly they should be accurate...

Terms of gender:

Male = Penis, no vagina and no breasts. Identifies a male.

Female = Breasts, vagina, and no penis. Identifies as female.

Hermaphrodite = Between guy and girl, based either on DNA or presence of either genitalia. What one depends on who you as.

Terms of gender identity:

Transgender = Crossdresser or one who does not comply with stereotypical gender rolls.

Transvestite = Crossdresser.

Transsexual = One who identifies more with a different gender than their own.

Terms of orientation:

Heterosexual = One who only is physically attracted to gender(s) other than their own.

Homosexual = One who is only is physically attracted to their own gender.

Bisexual = One who is attracted to two genders. Almost exclusively these are male and female.

Pansexual = One who is attracted to all genders

Asexual = One who does not experience sexual attraction. This is also known as being 'nonsexual'.

Polysexual = One who is attracted to many different genders, though not necessarily all.

You should add Bi-curious.

Also what I am, which is Trans-curious. I'm not seeking to change my gender, I like being a guy, but being a girl would be awesome. If only I could change between the two genders...

LGBTPFNM

lesbian gay bi trans pan female n***** molester

Add me for being sexually attracted to ******* as well.

I've gotten more flak from my relatives for that than I would probably ever get from coming out pan to them.

Let's break this shit down.

I have boobs, so I must be a female.

Wrong!

However I hate skirts, makeup and those stereotypical girly crap, so I consider myself a tomboy and more often than not I get mistaken for a guy. Does this count as not conforming to stereotypical gender roles?
I used to be asexual before meeting my bf. So I guess that makes me hetero now.

So wtf does that make me?

Sounds like a style choice. 'Stereotypical girly crap' has nothing to do with being an actual girl and more what society thinks an actual girl should look like.

Up here they made it LGBTT with second T for "two spirited"

As for why Trans is in there I would just say that it wireds straight people out and it has to do with sexuality so its piled in.

Options like 'bi-curious', 'trans-curious', 'bi leaning gay / straight', etc. don't really need definitions.

What about Androgyny/ambigenders?

 

[Slyck]

By the way, this is not quite correct. Transgender means that an individual identifies as a gender different than their own biological sex, whereas Transsexual means that an individual has undergone, or is in the process of undergoing, sex reassignment.

I fixed it.

 

[EdieFantabulous]

You forgot the queers, and apparently that is a sexuality now...

 

[Slyck]

What about Androgyny/ambigenders?

Androgynism and ambigenderism, as the words apply to this topic, would be covered under the definition of hermaphrodite. Fixed.

Wrong. Hermaphroditism means that both sex organs are present.

Fix'd.

 

[Ieatcrackersandjumpcliffs]

So behavior is now an orientation, :-xnice... And people can't say anything because they've been dickriding on the gay movement since ever which makes them "untouchable." Well, I'm a disgruntled fag so I not bound by that unwritten rule.

 

[Fuzzy Alien]

So behavior is now an orientation

Who said that?

 

[Ieatcrackersandjumpcliffs]

Who said that?

I guess the person who decides on the acronym.

No one said LGBT was all about sexual orientations.

 

[Ieatcrackersandjumpcliffs]

No one said LGBT was all about sexual orientations.

Really? Then why have LGB in it?

 

[Browder]

Really? Then why have LGB in it?

Because those are all things that challenge gender expectations.

 

[Ieatcrackersandjumpcliffs]

Because those are all things that challenge gender expectations.

Auh.

 

[Fuzzy Alien]

By the way, I've NEVER been This'd this many times before.

You've never been that correct.

 

[Fenrir Lupus]

Because they're all abnormal.
