The Increase in Number of Genders
Some say that the LGBT acronym should be made more inclusive – a prime and overarching value today – so as to include other possibilities. One proposal is LGBTQQICAPF2K+. Here is what the new proposed acronym stands for:
L – lesbian
G – gay
B – bisexual
T – transgender
Q – queer
Q – questioning
I – intersex
C – curious
A – asexual
A – agender
A – ally
P – pansexual
P – polysexual
F – friends and family
2 – two-spirit
K – kink
+ - the possibility of more, to be added later.
By including ‘allies’ and ‘friends and family,’
LGBTQQICAPF2K+ is so inclusive that it includes heterosexuals!
Meanwhile the number of genders keeps
multiplying. A website devoted to keeping track of the number of genders
currently lists fifty-six, with the provision for continually adding more.
These include:
Adamasgender: a gender which refuses to be
categorized
Aerogender: a gender that is influenced by your
surroundings
Affectugender: a gender that is affected by
mood swings
Agender: the feeling of no gender/absence of
gender or neutral gender
Amaregender: a gender that changes depending on
who you’re in love with
Cisgender: the feeling of being the gender you
were assigned at birth, all the time (assigned (fe)male/feeling (fe)male)
Demi-smoke: A transcendental, spiritual gender
roughly drifting to other genders that are unable to be foreseen and
understood, shrouded in darkness within your inner visual. Elevating through
mystery. Caused b y a lack of inner interpretation and dark emotional states.
Egogender: a gender that is so personal to your
experience that it can only be described as ‘you’
Espigender: a gender that is related to being a
spirit or exists on a higher or extradimensional plane
Genderpunk: a gender identity that actively
resists gender norms
Hydrogender: a gender which shares qualities
with water
Mirrorgender: a gender that changes to fit the
people around you
Multigender: the feeling of having more than
one simultaneous or fluctuating gender
Vapogender: a gender that sort of feels like
smoke; can be seen on a shallow level but once you go deeper, it disappears and
you are left with no gender and only tiny wisps of what you thought it was.
“Advocates are insisting that the language be changed to reflect this new gender ideology. Gender is embedded in most languages, though not all. In German, every noun has a gender. English lacks grammatical gender but retains gender distinctions in pronouns, instead of saying ‘he’ or ‘she,’ those who are ‘gender fluid’ or otherwise object to such binary gender might prefer ‘they,’ since plural pronouns do not have different forms for gender. But using a plural form for a singular is confusing and ungrammatical. The neutral ‘it’ also lacks gender distinction, so some prefer that, though others object that ‘it’ is impersonal. So some gender activists are making up new pronouns: ne/nem/nir/nirs/nemeself; ve/ver/vis/viv/verself; ey/em/eir/eir/eirself; ze/zir/zir/zirs/zirself; xe/xem/xyr/xyrs/xemself” (p. 134).
