LGBTQI - An Introduction
On this website you will find a thematic overview on different genders and sexual orientations from a psychological point of view.
We take a see at:
- gender and sex that is socially assigned based on physical characteristics.
- gender identity
- gender roles
- sexual orientation
In our definitions we try to exploit a language in tune with the latest development both in psychological care-work and in lgbtqi emancipation. But discourses are always shifting, always changing. Words that were acceptable yesterday may not be acceptable today anymore.
Furthermore, individually people often employ their retain terms that may not be in line with the preferences of the majority. Some gender non-conforming women may, for example, depict themselves as "tranny" or as "shemale", even though these terms are perceived as insulting by most trans women.
It is not always easy to use the "right" vocabulary and we all fail at that at times. What is important is that we always remain open to learn and that we monitor. We should call people by the words and terms that they want to be calle
What Is the &#;I&#; in LGBTQIA+?
June is National LGBTQ+ Pride Month. Somewhat recently, the Lgbtq+ fest acronym has adopted more letters. Many sources now refer to the LGBTQIA+ community, which stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, gender nonconforming, queer, intersex, and asexual. While some of those words are often discussed, others may need some further explanation. We turned to Laurel A. Beck, PhD, Senior Instructor in CU Denver’s Department of Integrative Biology to explain the “I” in LGBTQIA+.
First things first. One aspect that makes all the letters in LGBTQ+ difficult for some people to get is the difference between sex and gender. Comedian and social justice activist Sam Killermann, who previously presented a comedy reveal called “It’s Pronounced Metrosexual” at college campuses nationwide, now creates edugraphics to explain the complexities of sex and gender. As his Genderbread Person illustrates, sex relates to a person’s anatomy, while gender refers to a person’s self-identified feeling of entity male, female, or a combination.

faktaLGBTQWhat does it mean to be LGBTQI+?
Regardless of the terminology, a significant chunk of the population is some other sexuality than heterosexual, despite the importance our society has traditionally placed on ‘straight’ relationships. It’s estimated there are 9 million Americans who are LGBT, while in Australia, 3% of adults identified as gay, queer woman or having an ‘other’ sexual orientation in the ABS General Social Survey.
However, true estimates are difficult to gather, because stigmatisation and confusion may direct some people to not report their sexuality, and other people may simply not know what they are. Others still, select not to report as they may see their private sexuality as their least-defining characteristic of who they are.
Importantly, being LGBTQI+ isn’t just about sex – it’s about relationships, love and a perception of self, important animation experiences that everybody wants and deserves. Reducing LGBTQI+ identity purely to sex and sexuality has been used to stigmatise and pigeonhole people historically, and can do a lot of damage.
