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?

Nkrs This is all new to me -- could you show some examples?

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.

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

Martijn Hahaha, I can imagine. Does it ever come up with the scouts at camp?

Xasasfdasfd Not really on the radar of Boy Scouts. Comes up at Girl Scouts sometimes.

Martijn Interesting, I did not expect a difference there! Can you elaborate?

Xasasfdasfd GS in the US has historically been more welcoming to alternative gender people than BS has. Just a different population.
