#What comes to mind when you think of the word bisexual?

Bisexuality
Haha, bisexuals are half-gay/half-straight!
Think about that. 2+
Bisexuals struggle to be visible in both the straight and gay communities.
Bisexuals encounter the same discrimination gays and lesbians face in addition to
being told theyre confused.#
Bisexuality is just a phase...theyre secretly gay.
While it is true a lot of people identify as bisexual before coming out as
something different, it is a concrete sexual orientation like everything else and
should be respected as such.
Bisexuality
Furthermore:
Not everyone is bisexual (They just dont know it!). Generalizing an enormous
group of people like this erases every individuals experience and thought.#
Bisexual people are not sexually greedy, cheaters, or polyamorous. In reality...
Trans*
Why trans* with a star?#
Trans* is a term that includes all trans people: transgender, transvestite,
genderqueer, gender-fluid, bigender, and transsexuals to name a few.#
Trans* people are commonly portrayed as someone who switched to the opposite sex,
but we have to remember not all trans* people go from male to female (MTF) or
female to male (FTM). If this is confusing, we will clarify later!

Discussion:
Whats the difference between transgender and transexual?
Transexual
Transgender
I feel that I belong to the opposite sex, and that my body does not match the
gender I was born with.
I identify with the opposite sex and may or may not had sex changes or take
hormones.
My general sense of self does not match the sex I was born with.

Queer: questioning, or gender-fluid
(Well dive into the world of gender-fluid people later on. Also, it is not a
liquid.)

Queer/Questioning
Think of queer as a term that covers all sides. It includes anyone who:
a) wants to identify as queer/questioning
b) who feels somehow outside of the societal norms in regards to gender or
sexuality
This could include [any] person who ... would rather not identify with any label,
the genderfluid bisexual, the genderfluid heterosexual, the questioning LGBT
person, and the person who just doesnt feel like they quite fit into societal
norms and wants to bond with a community over that.

Whats genderfluid?
The meaning of genderfluid is best described as a dynamic mix of male and female. A
person who is genderfluid may feel more masculine some days and more feminine other
days.
Queer/Questioning
As simple as it may seem, genderfluid people get as much criticism and hatred as
gays and lesbians do. They dont decide how they feel, it IS how they feel. There
isnt a need to conform to one side.
Queer/Questioning
Pansexuality
Its when youre attracted to pans. If you think about it, Tupperware is kind of
sexy.

Pansexuality means you are attracted to all types of people.#
Its synonymous with being attracted to people regardless of gender.
Discussion:
Isnt being bisexual the same thing as being pansexual?

Intersex/Intergender
Although rare, some people are born with a reproductive system that dont fit the
typical male or female labels. So how do they identify?

Name.
Ask.
X
Intersex/Intergender
Non-binary pronouns: X
(English class sure didnt teach you this!)
Intersex/Intergender
We can define the two with the same concept: Gender to mind, sex to body.
Intersex: One who is born with sex chromosomes, external genitalia and/or an
internal reproductive system that is not considered standard or normative for
either the male or female sex.

Whats the difference between intergender and gender-fluid?
(Did we lose you yet?)
Asexuality
Its impossible to not want to have sex. They dont feel anything at all? I dont
believe that.
Its impossible to not want to have sex. They dont feel anything at all? I dont
believe that.
The problem is, you dont have to believe it, because it is a fact. It is true.
People often opt out of relationships and feel that asexuality best suits their
feelings and their lifestyle.

Asexuality: someone who does not experience sexual attraction. Romantic attraction
is still there!
Puppies!!!
Unlike celibacy...#
Asexuality is not a disorder, and people who are asexual are perfectly healthy
people.

Leelah Alcorn
Leelah Alcorn was a 17-year-old transgender teenager in Ohio who was isolated and
mistreated by her devout Christian parents who refused to acknowledge her as a
female and prevented her from transitioning. To speak out against transgender
mistreatment, she committed suicide by walking in front of a tractor trailer late
one night and left a suicide note on Tumblr, which sparked a nationwide response
(and even a petition) to raise awareness for transgender suicides. Even after her
death, her parents posts referred to her as Joshua and made no mention of her
suicide, enraging many in the LGBT community.
The most important way to be an ally is to get connected. Asking questions, staying
informed, and speaking up about injustices against the LGBT+ community makes the
world a better place to live in.
