LGBTQIA Roll Call!

1) A can mean allies or asexual
2) transsexual is an outdated term. "transgender" is much more appropriate
3) intersex is the modern term for hermaphrodite (which is also now outdated)
4) the original post's reference to "really [enjoying] certain sorority activities" makes me wonder if the poster is male?

T can also mean Two-Spirited.

And isn't that an awfully gender biased statement from someone who is apparently pretty aware of gender issues.

ok if gender =/= sex, i would think that transsexual and transgender are not interchangeable terms. they are two different things, no?

ETA: nevermind, guess you learn something new everday! (but i dunno, in mymind the 2 are seperate)

I know that the NPC has a Manual of Information that clearly states that Rush should now be called Recruitment, Rushee is now Potential New Member, etc. etc.

Does the LGBTQIA community have a handbook that states that transsexual and hermaphrodite are now passe?

[I really don't care, I just wanted to throw that out because I thought it was weird how a new user would choose this thread to make her first post]

And to thetalovebug, I'm pretty sure it's been proven that the OP = female. She's an APhiO brother, but she's female. And not of the transgendered type.

Many people seem to think I'm a guy on the internet, not just here on GC, lol.

Thetalove, I'm 100% female.

Every time I hear a term is passé I wait a year and then hear that such and such group is reclaiming it.
