Prefixes

The words of the day were bicurious, bigendered, and biphobia and when I typed them into the computer they are labeled incorrect, why?

• These words aren't new.
• Bi- does mean two, as in they like males & females.

So why aren't they recognized as words? That just doesn't seem right does it? They should be treated as real words, equal to all the other words with that same prefix. Just as being a bisexual should be treated as a real orientation ESPECIALLY by other LGBT people with the same stamp of un-approval by society on their forehead. 

Bi•pho•bi•a

The fear of, discrimination against, or hatred of bisexuals, which is often times related to the current binary standard. Biphobia can be seen within the LGBTQIA community, as well as in general society.

Bi•gend•ered

A person whose gender identity is a combination of male/man and female/woman.

Bi•cur•i•ous

A curiosity about having sexual relations with a same gender/sex person.

A•sex•u•al

A person who is not sexually attracted to anyone or does not have a sexual orientation.

An•dro•gyne

A person appearing and/or identifying as neither man nor woman, presenting a gender either mixed or neutral.

Al•ly

Someone who confronts heterosexism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, heterosexual and genderstraight privilege in themselves and others; a concern for the well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and intersex people; and a belief that heterosexism, homophobia, biphobia and transphobia are social justice issues.

A•gen•dered

LGBT Terminology

In the search to find my own label I've found that not too many people actually know the tons of categories the LGBT Community is broken into so over the course of this month I will be sharing these different labels with you starting today. Educate yourselves and stay posted : )
