We know what LGBT means but here's what LGBTTQQIAAP stands for? And which one do you identify with?
LGBTTQQIAAP is an inclusive term and denotes the full form of the LGBTQ+ community. The LGBTTQQIAAP term covers the different ways in which people define their gender identity and sexuality, but this list is not exhaustive. Some of you may also identify with more than one of these identities.
1. L- LESBIAN
A woman who is primarily attracted to another woman.
2. G-GAY
A man who is primarily attracted to another male.
It is also a broad term that represents a person attracted to the same sex or same gender. They are also called homosexuals.
3. B-BISEXUAL
A person attracted to their own and the opposite gender. In another way, it means a person attracted to both males and females. In gay parlance, they are said to ‘swing in both ways’.
4. T-TRANSGENDER
A person who acts and lives in a gender opposite to what has been assigned to him at birth. Transgenders often crossdress and behave as the opposite sex in their normal lives as they believe that they feel opposite to their assigned birth sex. For example, a person born as a man may feel like a woman trapped inside a man’s body and vice-versa.
5. T-TRANSSEXUAL
A person who has permanently changed his or her gender identity by the means of surgery and the use of hormones. They modify or transition their bodies and change their sexual organs with the help of medical science. A transsexual person may be transgender initially, but after transitioning medically they become transsexual.
6. Q-QUEER
People generally refer the gays and lesbians as queer but it is an umbrella term to be more inclusive of many identities that make up the LGBTQ+ community. In other words, a queer is not someone who is heterosexual or identifies himself as straight.
7. Q-QUESTIONING
A person who is still exploring or discovering his sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
8. I-INTERSEX
A person born with sexual or reproductive anatomy that doesn’t fit the definition ‘female’ or ‘male. Intersex people have both male and female biological characteristics. Some people have both male and female sex organs. Some males have a penis, but they also have female organs like the vagina or uterus.
9. A-ASEXUAL
A person who does not feel any sexual desire or attraction for any gender or has a very low interest in sexual activity. But this doesn’t mean that such people do not enter into a relationship, they do. It’s just they do not indulge in sexual acts.
10. A-ALLY
An ally is a non-queer person who supports, cheers and advocates the cause of the LGBTQ+ community. An ally doesn’t belong to the LGBTQ+ community but whosoever supports the LGBT+ community is an ally.
11. P-PANSEXUAL
A person who is attracted emotionally and/or physically to any gender. This also includes people who do not identify with any of the genders. In other words, a pansexual person gets attracted to any person regardless of their gender, sexual orientation or identity. A pansexual person can get attracted to anyone male, female, transgender, transsexual, intersex, queer, non-binary, etc.
Like asexuals, pansexuals get attracted to personalities. But the main difference is that an asexual never gets attracted sexually while a pansexual does.
13. GENDER FLUID
Gender fluid people are the people whose gender changes over time. A gender fluid person may identify as a woman one day and as a man the very next day. They also do not have a fixed gender identity and are oscillate between the two genders.
These are the other forms of gender orientations that don’t fall under LGBTTQQIAAP. These people may not necessarily fall specifically, in the LGBTTQQIAA community, but they are still a part of the LGBTQ+ community. And everyone is welcome here.
