This is all new to me -- could you show some...

Martijn Tumblr and the overall LGBTQ&c community are introducing way too specific labels for people to describe themselves by, in my opinion. Can't we just be ourselves without clinically categorising what that means?

Martijn Hard to "show" it, as such. First there are separate gender and sexual identities. You can also have a different *-sexual from *-romantic (eg. biromantic heterosexual). Discussions about differences between bi-, omni-, and pan-, prefixes. Discussions about what is and is not a gender. Cis- prefix. Pronouns. Not to mention people who describe themselves having several as each. I don't mind if you want to do that. It does not affect me in any way. I am just questioning if it is helpful for anyone, including those who do it.

Nkrs I've heard about some of these, but didn't make the connection. Perhaps they're trying to be unique, but if that's the goal, there are other (and I'd argue better) ways to be different, without involving private matters such as gender and sex.

Xasasfdasfd It's even more fun when it's your own teenagers insisting on this stuff.

Asko P. My country is still just getting use to the fact that there are homosexuals out there. So, yeah, my opinion is if you want to be taken equally, don't go out there promoting your differences to everyone. If they ask, tell, but otherwise why?
