Brief description of LGBTQIA +

 

LGBTQIA + is an acronym for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioned, intersex, asexual, and "more." These terms are used to describe a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. See below for a more detailed definition of each term, from the Reference Guide or glossary at: https://lgbtqia.ucdavis.edu/educated/glossary

 

Many people in the queer community have different ways of referring to themselves. Some of us use the term "queer" or "LGBT" and the initials "LGBTQIA +". There is a long history surrounding the terms we use, and it is crucial to know the meaning of each letter so that it includes the many identities that build and define community. "LGBT" stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. This has evolved from the term "gay community", which was used in the 1950s and 1960s before the term GL, B emerged to also include lesbian and bisexual people, who felt that "gay" did not include other identities. “In the late 1990s, activist organizations began using LGBT or GLBT, including the T for transgender and transgender people, although it was debated because some believed that the GLB community should restrict itself to sexual identity and not include identity. However, the T is here to stay, as it should be, as trans activists have long been at the forefront of the community's struggle for rights and acceptance. For example, trans women activists of color like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera were instrumental in the Stonewall riots, which have been called the genesis of the LGBTQ community we know today. Additions to LGBT initialism are Q (which means "queer" and, in some cases, "question"), I (which means intersex people), and A (asexual).

​

GLAAD and other leading journalism guides have established the acronym LGBTQ as a common practice to refer to the community. However, it is important to listen to community members and how they identify; While "queer" may be a good blanket term for some, others dislike the word due to its history as a derogatory insult against LGBTQ people.

Our advice is, of course, to call people what they asked to be called, but when you need a universal term and are outside the community, stick with LGBTQ until someone asks otherwise. ”

​

When I came out as gay more than 10 years ago, there were only four letters in common use to group various sexual and gender minorities: L, G, B and T. These letters were an evolution towards inclusion, an expansion of language used to represent a disparate group often just called "the gay community". Despite his intention, the letters turned out to be limited. Times and attitudes have changed, and the language used to discuss sexual orientation and gender identity has also changed. As a result, the established LGBT abbreviation has acquired a few extra letters and a set of auxiliary terminology around sexuality and gender. Not everyone has adopted them. Take, for example, the addition of "Q" that became increasingly popular as the 20th century turned into the 21st. Some insisted that this means "questioning," representing people who were unsure of their sexual orientations or gender identities. Others stated that it was for "queer," a blanket term that has shed its derogatory origins and is gaining acceptance. Now there is me too, for intersexuality; A, for ally (or asexual, depending on who you're talking to); and often a plus sign meant to cover anyone else not listed: LGBTQIA +.

 

However, this is only the beginning. In the year since The New York Times first published this article in the summer of 2018, the language used to describe the spectra of gender and sexuality has grown, and the new terms have become more prominent. As World Pride, the annual celebration of LGBTQIA + identity, arrives in New York City for the month of June, The Times asks readers to share how they identify. We have updated this list to reflect more common themes among the responses. What follows is an inclusive vocabulary list by no means.

 

GAY AND LESBIAN. It is important to start with the basics, and "gay" and "lesbian" are as basic as possible. As "homosexual" began to feel clinical and pejorative, gay became the main de rigueur term for same-sex attraction in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Gradually, tailored As what was then called the gay liberation movement was gaining traction, the phrase "gays and lesbians" became more popular as a way of highlighting the similar but separate problems faced by women in the struggle for tolerance.

Gay is still sometimes used as a blanket term, but these days, it also refers specifically to men, as in "gay men and lesbians."

 

BISEXUAL. Someone who is attracted to people of their gender or other gender identities. It is not a way station from straight to gay, as it had once been described.

Stereotypes around bisexuality, which is a transitional stage or a cover for promiscuity, have been at the center of tense conversation within LGBTQ circles for years. The musical television show "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend", which features a bisexual male character, had a full song refuting this.

As advocates speak more about what they see as "bisexual erasure," the persistent questioning or denial of bisexual identity, the term has resurfaced. But some people also argue that the prefix "bi" reinforces a male / female gender binary that is not inclusive enough.

 

PANSEXUAL. Someone who is attracted to people of all gender identities. Or someone who is attracted to the qualities of a person regardless of their gender identity. (The prefix "pan" means "everyone", rejecting the gender binary which, according to some, is implicit in "bisexual"). Once just another niche term used by academics, pansexual has entered the mainstream, fueled in part by celebrities giving it visibility. Singer Miley Cyrus identified as pansexual in 2015. In April, after singer Janelle Monàe came out as pansexual in a 'Rolling Stone' article, searches for the word on the Merriam-Webster website jumped by eleven. one thousand percent, according to the dictionary.

 

ASEXUAL OR "as". Someone who experiences little or no sexual attraction. They should not be confused with "aromatic people", who experience little or no romantic attraction. Asexual people don't always identify as aromatic; aromatic people do not always identify as asexual. More generally, some people (asexual or not) identify with a different romantic orientation than their sexual orientation. The terminology is similar: homoromantic, heteroromantic, biromantic, etc.

 

DEMISEXUAL. Someone who generally does not experience sexual attraction unless they have formed a strong emotional, but not necessarily romantic, connection with someone.

 

GRAYSEXUAL. Someone who occasionally experiences sexual attraction but generally does not; it covers a kind of gray space between asexuality and sexual identity.

 

CISGENERO. Someone whose gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth.

 

TRANSGENDER. A wide-ranging term for people whose gender identity or gender expression differs from the biological sex assigned to them at birth.

 

TRANS * OR TRANS + Two general terms for identities that are not cisgender.

 

NON-CONFORMING OF GENDER, OR GNC One that expresses gender outside the traditional norms associated with masculinity or femininity. Not all people who do not conform to gender are transgender, and some transgender people express gender in conventionally male or female ways.

 

NOT BINARY. A person who does not identify as a man or a woman and sees himself outside the gender binary. This is sometimes abbreviated to NB or enby. One notable example: Taylor Mason, a financial analyst for the show "Billions," believed to be the first non-binary gender character on television and is played by non-binary actress Asia Kate Dillon.

 

GENDERQUEER. Another term used to describe someone whose gender identity is outside the strict male / female binary. They can exhibit both traditionally masculine and feminine qualities or none at all.

 

GENDER FLUID. Term used by people whose identity changes or fluctuates. Sometimes these individuals can identify with, express themselves or feel sexually attracted to masculine people on some days and more feminine on others, or simply flow in between.

 

GENDER-NEUTRAL. Someone who prefers not to be described by a specific gender, but prefers "they" as a singular pronoun (the American Dialect Society's 2015 Word of the Year) or the honorific "Mx.", A substitute for "Mr." or "Mrs." which entered the Oxford English Dictionary in 2015.

 

INTERSEX. A term for someone who was born with biological sexual characteristics that are not traditionally associated with male or female bodies. Intersex is not about sexual orientation or gender identity.

 

+ It is no longer just a mathematical symbol, but a denotation of everything on the spectrum of gender and sexuality that letters and words do not yet describe.
