  • Glossary: LGBTQ+ Terms
    Glossary: LGBTQ+ terms * This list is neither comprehensive nor inviolable, but a continual work in progress. With identity terms, trust the person who is using the term and their definition of it above any dictionary. 1. Agender: a person with no (or very little) connection to the ​ traditional system of gender, no personal alignment with the concepts of either man or woman, and/or someone who sees themselves as existing without gender. Sometimes called gender neutrois, gender neutral, or genderless. 2. Ally: person who supports and respects members of the LGBTQ community. Sometimes re-framed as a verb: “How ​ am I allying myself with x or y community?” 3. Androgynous: a gender expression that has elements of both masculinity and femininity. ​ 4. Asexual: a person who does not have significant sexual attractions. Romantic, emotional, and physical attractions, as ​ well as partnered relationships, may or may not be present. 5. Bisexual: a person who has significant romantic, emotional, physical and sexual attractions to both women and men. ​ May also be framed as attractions to two or more genders. The frequency, intensity, or quality of attraction is not necessarily directed toward both/all genders equally. 6. Cisgender: /“siss-jendur”/ a gender description for when someone’s sex assigned at birth and gender identity ​ ​ ​ ​ correspond in the expected way (e.g., someone who was assigned male at birth, and identifies as a man). A simple way to think about it is if a person is not transgender, they are cisgender. The word cisgender can also be shortened to “cis.” 7. Demisexual: little or no capacity to experience sexual attraction until a strong romantic connection is formed with ​ someone, often within a romantic relationship.

Manuscript submitted for publication, California State University, San Bernardino, California. What Can Asexuality Offer Sociology? Insights from the 2017 Asexual Community Census Megan Carroll, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Sociology California State University - San Bernardino Contact: Megan Carroll, Department of Sociology, California State University – San Bernardino, 5500 University Parkway SB327, San Bernardino, CA 92407-2397, [email protected] 2 *** In August 2018, the ASA Section on Sociology of Sexualities hosted a preconference before the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association to gather insights and showcase the work of top contributors of sociological work on sexualities. Outstanding work from across the discipline was featured in panels, workshops, and roundtables across the two days of conferencing, and critical questions of race, politics, and violence were deservedly prioritized amid an increasingly urgent political climate. While this preconference served to advance the discipline’s efforts toward generating knowledge and healing social divides, it also symbolized the range of American sociology’s contributions to interdisciplinary knowledge on sexuality. Missing from the work presented at the pre-conference was any mention of asexualities. Sociological insights on asexuality (i.e. a lack of sexual attraction) have been very limited. While some sociologists have devoted attention toward asexualities in their work (e.g. Carrigan 2011; Cuthbert 2017; Dawson, Scott, and McDonnell 2018; Poston and Baumle 2010; Scherrer and Pfeffer 2017; Simula, Sumerau, and Miller 2019; Sumerau et al. 2018; Troia 2018; Vares 2018), the field more often contributes to the invisibility of asexuality than sheds light on it.

    the incredibly detailed honest forthright fully comprehensive completely blunt wonderfully helpful and witty exposition on a topic that makes some people stress because they doubt they understand it or know enough about it but they’ll soon be ready to talk because this compelling and transformative (no pun intended) little publication will answer lots of questions and start to demystify the not-at-all secret world of people who are transgender and become your tried and trusted guide to being a trans ally* 2 Introduction 5 Equality Guideposts 6 Chapter 1: Words. A lot of words.

Without them, this would be a very lonely road. Alyssa If there’s one thing that we can say about being an ally, it’s this: It is all about the journey. When PFLAG National launched the Straight for Equality program in 2007, the mission was— if you’ll excuse our nearly inexcusable pun—pretty straightforward. We wanted to create a resource and community for people who are not lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer/ questioning (LGBTQ+) to understand why their voices are critical to achieving equality for all, and provide them with the information and tools to effectively raise their voices. To lead people on the path from “Soooo not my issue…” to one of support (or even Super Ally status), we’d have to start at the very beginning.

ABSTRACT Gender is a psychological component which is given by the society to a person, while sex is a biological component which is awarded by God. However, there are certain conditions in which the biological aspects are put to challenge with the social and psychological aspects of gender. Hermaphrodites are a third gender role, who is neither male or female, man nor woman but contains the element of both. One may question that if they are neither male nor female then who they are and whether they are equally treated in our society. Looking at the challenges faced by hermaphrodites, one need to question what choices these hermaphrodites have in our society. We being a responsible citizen of the society, how can we make their lives less miserable and make them respectable or functional members of our society.

The modern medical term for this phenomenon is “intersex;” before the twentieth century, however, intersex was called “hermaphroditism.” Because the current medical term is “intersex,” we will use the term “intersex” instead of “hermaphrodite” where appropriate, unless directly quoting from a text. During the nineteenth century, there was an intense medical examination of intersex individuals. Scientists were searching for a physical state they called a “true lateral hermaphrodite,” referring to a person who has intact male reproductive organs on one side of their body and female reproductive organs on the other (Munde 615, 629). For many, the fascination of this “true lateral hermaphrodite” was the idea that the intersex individual could maintain both sexes simultaneously, which supported the notions of the gender and sex binary.
