OK, I can't keep up, what's the 2 mean? LOL
It means two-spirited and it's part of an Indigenous concept of gender and worldview.
Thank you! 2 Spirited was my first introduction to what it meant to be Queer, and it's pretty cool to see this variation on the acronym.
Hey no problem glad I could help. It's part of decolonization to include everyone in on Indigenous terms.
It's more relevant for NA, it's an indigenous thing iirc.
You should look up Trudeau rattling off this acronym like it's nothing lol. He likely practiced a lot in the mirror
You get to be in the acronym. But you're on your own for affordable food.
Jesus. At this point can we just say LGBTO and have the O mean Others? It's getting cringy af, and I'm saying that as a trans person.
That was the whole point of the "Q"! In fact, we could ditch the LGBT and just stick with a fully inclusive "Queer".
Don't worry there are only 107 recognized genders. I'd like to hear any politician throw that one around
Recognized by whom? Most countries recognize 3: male, female, and everything inbetween
Why can't those 107 genders fall under T for trans? I feel old for saying this, but if you don't identify with your birth gender then doesn't that make a person trans? Why do they need a extra letter on LGBT for it?
I don't know, I don't subscribe to any of that shit. I don't care whatya do in your personal life but if you come up to me and look like a guy, I'm gonna say what up dude. You get offended by that ya can GFY lol
So you're a transhpobe? At least just say you're a transphobic person, it's a lot easier than typing in that cringy comment.
No, I couldn't give a shit what you do in your life. I'm not changing for anyone, I am me. If you don't like it, go elsewhere. If that's transphobic, sure what ever. I really don't care because it doesn't affect my life
But your actions affect others, you being unwilling to properly gender a person means that others hate will reach them easier. Just because you aren't being affected doesn't mean you can't help things improve. And if you aren't willing to gender somebody properly, what did you think that made you before? It's simply hateful.
So if the CEO of the company you worked for introduced himself with male pronouns but you thought he looked feminine, you'd call him by female pronouns? Or if you got pulled over by a female officer but she looked masculine to you, you'd call her "Sir"? Yikes. It sounds to me like you just like having a shitty excuse to disrespect people.
Jesus fuck you are stupid. I only acknowledge 2 genders. Male and female.
I am not disrespectful in any way unless you do something stupid like interrupt me to let me know your bullshit ideology about genders.
You and the people in your life can do that. Don't force your moronic ideology down my throat.
That's it. It's not hard.
I don't care if you love dick or vagina or neither, you do you.
Get that ideology through your thick skull and STFU about it when in public, unless you're with people you know, then do it with them and no one else.
this is so stupid lol
It's a Native American term that has been in use for thousands of years longer than whatever newbie civilization your ancestors came from.
