This is not an all encompassing list, but is a good place start if you are unfamiliar. You may have heard some of these words and didn’t know what they meant. The purpose of this list is to help you understand the terms, and to educate on common terms and preferred terms within the LGBTQ community.  \nAIDS / Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome – The stage of HIV infection. An HIV positive person is diagnosed with AIDS when their immune system is so weakened that it is no longer able to fight off illness. People with immune deficiency are much more vulnerable to infections such as pneumonia and various forms of cancer. These diseases are called opportunistic infections because they take advantage of the weakened immune system. Ultimately, people do not die from AIDS itself, they die from one or more of these opportunistic infections. It is believed that all people who become HIV+ will eventually have AIDS.  \nAlly – Someone who confronts heterosexism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, heterosexual and gender-straight privilege in themselves and others; a concern for the well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and intersex people; a belief that heterosexism, homophobia, biphobia and transphobia are social.  \nAndrogynous-An appearance and/or identification that is neither man nor woman, presenting a gender either mixed or neutral.  \nAsexual – Someone who does not experience sexual attraction. Unlike celibacy, which people choose, asexuality is an intrinsic part of who we are. Asexual people still have the same emotional needs as anyone else, and experience attraction. However, they feel no need to act out that attraction sexually.  \nAssigned Sex-When all of us are born, a doctor or other official surveys the evidence and assigns us one of two sexes: “male” and “female.” If the available physical evidence at birth is unclear, many times the evidence is “fixed” surgically to conform to one of those two boxes.  \nBicurious – A curiosity about having sexual relations with a same gender/sex person.  \nBiphobia – The fear of, discrimination against, or hatred of bisexuals, which is oftentimes related to the current binary standard . Biphobia can be seen within the LGBTQ community, as well as in general society.  \nBisexual – A person emotionally, physically, and/or sexually attracted to male/men and females/women. This attraction does not have to be equally split between genders and there may bea preference for one gender over others.  \nBulldagger-Most often used in a derogatory way to describe a masculine lesbian; most often used in African American communities.  \nButch – A person who identifies themselves as masculine, whether it be physically, mentally or emotionally. ‘Butch’ is sometimes used as a derogatory term for lesbians, but it can also be claimed as an affirmative identity label.  \nCisgender-Literally “not transgender.” This is a less problematic term for people who are not transgender – preferred over terms like “real man/woman,”“biological man/woman,” or “natural man/woman.”  \nComing Out – May refer to the process by which one accepts one’s own sexuality, gender identity, or status as an intersexed person (to “come out” to oneself) . May also refer to the process by which one shares one’s sexuality, gender identity, or intersexed status with others (to “come out”to friends, etc.) . This can be a continual, life-long process for homosexual, bisexual, transgendered, and intersexed individuals.  \nCross-dresser – Someone who wears clothes of another gender/sex.  \nDiscrimination – Prejudice + power. It occurs when members of a more powerful social group behave unjustly or cruelly to members of a less powerful social group. Discrimination can take many forms, including both individuals acts of hatred of injustice and institutional denials of privileges normally accorded to other groups. Ongoing discrimination creates a climate of oppression for the a","cbCaiqnAXftecAGq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqnAXftecAGq","pdf",293967,"English","# LGBTQ community common terms glossary\n## Identity and attraction terms\n## Gender-related terminology\n## Allyship, coming out, and discrimination","[{\"question\":\"What does “AIDS” mean in the glossary?\",\"answer\":\"It refers to a stage of HIV infection where the immune system is severely weakened.
