LGBTQIA Resource Center Glossary

GLOSSARY

The terms and definitions below are always evolving, altering and often mean alternative things to different people. They are provided below as a starting show for discussion and knowledge. This Glossary has been collectively built and created by the staff members of the LGBTQIA Resource Center since the preliminary s.

These are not universal definitions. This glossary is provided to help offer others a more thorough but not entirely comprehensive understanding of the significance of these terms. You may even consider asking someone what they intend when they use a term, especially when they use it to illustrate their identity. Ultimately it is most important that each individual define themselves for themselves and therefore also define a phrase for themselves.

 

“If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive.” -Audre Lorde

This glossary contains terms, such as ableism and disability, that may not be considered directly related to identities of sexuality or gender. These terms are crucial to acknowledge as part of our mission to challenge all forms of oppression

Around the world, people are under attack for who they are.

Living as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans or intersex (LGBTI) person can be life-threatening in a number of countries across the globe.

Discrimination and violence against LGBTI people can reach in many forms, from name-calling, bullying, harassment, and gender-based violence, to creature denied a job or appropriate healthcare. Protests to uphold the rights of LGBTI people also encounter suppression across the globe. 

The range of unequal treatment faced is extensive and damaging and could be based on:

  • your sexual orientation (who you’re attracted to)
  • gender identity (how you self-identify, irrespective of the sex assigned at birth)
  • gender expression (how you express your gender, for example through your clothing, hair or mannerisms),
  • sex characteristics (for example, your genitals, chromosomes, reproductive
