LGBTQ+ explained in layman's terms and extremely simplified PodCast #11

Introduction:

This article is written in the opinion of isydia. To see Kissra’s opinions and views, look for her articles labeled “Kissra” under PodCast #11

Life is about having experiences that align with your personal being. Embracing diversity enriches our collective experience; a world filled only with reflections of oneself would lack the vibrancy and depth that diverse perspectives bring. Life becomes more fulfilling when we engage with people who aren't carbon copies of ourselves, fostering personal growth and expanding our understanding. Therefore, I will not intentionally make someone’s life more difficult simply because their life differs from mine.

Having said the above, if some individuals happen to be attracted to someone of the same sex or who identifies with a gender different from the one assigned to them at birth, I would say power to them.

This article will be heavily simplified and will be mainly geared towards people who are  straight hetrosexuals  with conservative values.

Thesis:

The process of understanding and expressing one’s sexual orientation and gender identity is unique to each individual. It is not a one-time event and personal, cultural, and social factors may influence how one expresses their sexual orientation and gender identity.

There is currently no universally-accepted acronym inclusive of all persons who are not heterosexual and/or express their gender in diverse ways. The commonly-used acronym — LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, or another diverse gender identity).. This topic primarily uses “LGBTQ+” as an inclusive term for simplicity, except when describing research studies explicitly focused on more narrowly-specific communities. See PodCast #11 resources, to learn more about each of these communities.

LGBTQ+  Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer +

In a nutshell, anyone who is attracted to someone of the same sex or who identifies with a gender different from the one assigned to them at birth, is part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Our focus here will be to explain the main genres of the LGBTQ+ and also we will focus on embedded bad actors who, in my opinion, are intentionally sabotaging the image of the LGBTQ+ community in order to create divisions amongst people; in order to create a weak and compliant community that will not be able to challenge the mainstream ideology that is designed to control every aspect of the populus.

A simplified version of my views (isydia) about the subject are written in purple for clarity.

Article:

LGBTQIA+ is an abbreviation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual, and more. These terms are used to describe a person's sexual orientation or gender identity.

Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer +

• Lesbian: Two women together (no men)

• Gay: Two men together (no women)

• Bisexual: A bisexual partner in a relationship can be attracted to either sex

• A bisexual partner in a two women Lesbian relationship can have a relationship/one night stand with a man

• A bisexual partner in a two men Gay relationship can have a relationship/one night stand with a woman

• Transgender: A man transitions into a woman OR a woman transitions into a man using a combination of surgeries and hormone therapy

• Queer: A person (man or woman) does not believe that a specific genre defines them, they can be attracted to men, women or transgender.

• + : The plus sign (+) represents all the additional genres out there that stems outside the original most common ones mentioned above.
  Some (not all) of the LGBTQ groups represented by the + sign are:
  
  

• Cross-dresser: The general term for this genre is men who wear women's clothing and makeup as a fetish playing out a fantasy of the feeling of being a woman. They could for a time identify as “she” and want to be treated as if they are real women, they are generally more on the submissive side, not masculine dominant in terms of personality. However, biologically, they are male and tend to have relations with transgender or bisexual men, other cross dressers, but very rarely women.

• Drag-Queen: Drag-Queen is similar to CrossDressing with one distinguishable element which is performance. Dragging involves performance whereby the intent is an undoing of gender norms through doing (or dressing) the part of the opposite sex.

Stigma and Resentment

Paid Actors
People are blind to the fact that there are paid groups of people who have a specific sinister agenda in mind, and the end result is to divide the populace creating a distraction from what is really happening in the world and current events.

Characteristics of artificial actors:

• Fake “mostly” AI generated content of men wearing exaggerated applied makeup made to be ridiculed by people in order to tarnish the image of the trans-community.

• The above said content of men artificially made to look ridiculous exhibit rude and obnoxious characteristics that are “forced” on others, in an intrusive way, and done intentionally to cause outrage. Some examples we’ve seen are the grooming of kids in schools without parents permission and other important figures made to look ridiculous.

• Illogical rules and laws enacted that are designed to create divisions between people.

All the above points are amplified by important public figures on popular platforms with algorithms and bots designed to inflame users and have them choose a side to create divisions between people in order to weaken the populous.

All the above “bad-actors” are designed to:

• Distract people from important current events

• Divide people in order to control the masses and divert people’s attention from important matters

• To put in laws that limit people’s freedoms under the guise of protection. This systematically errodes people’s freedoms and converts rights into privileges

Note: No person is ever obligated to be attracted to another person. That completely goes against the concept of autonomy and consent that is so central to the trans and nonbinary community.

It is in my opinion, anyone claiming to be part of the LGBTQ+ and comes off forcefully belligerent or rude toward others, especially people who are not part of the LGBTQ+ or people who lead a Conservative lifestyle, is most likely an embedded paid actor/saboteur who's compromised and gone rogue in order to make the LGBTQ+ community appears ridiculous to portray them in a bad light creating divisions among people who otherwise might get along or at the very least, mind their own business.

So, if you see such an example especially on social media, ask yourself why a struggling LGBTQ+ minority creating negative attention that clearly will not work to their favor? 

The simple answer is, they do not have the best interest of the LGBTQ+ community and their actions designed to fool gullible people with a level of ignorance about the subject, don't fall for it.

Also, I do not fall for prominent/famous persons who ridicule the LGBTQ+ community; this is simply because I believe that no one should push their beliefs and ideologies on others, live and let live is my moto.

Note: please do not confuse freedom of expression with citation for hate, against a group. I will use somewhat of an extreme examples below to elaborate on this:

Scenario #1 (Freedom of expression, OK)

I will never like the LGBTQ+ community and I do not accept them nor I want anything to do with them, so, if you are an LGBTQ+ identifying person stay clear from me, I don't wan to talk to you. 

Everything in Scenario #1 is a personal opinion and should be protected under freedom of speech and expression.

Scenario #2 (Citation for hate, NOT OK)

We should ban LGBTQ+ people from (something) because they are not natural and go against nature. 

This is citation for hate and discrimination encouraging others to do something against an individual or a group. The example in scenario #2 is no longer a protected personal opinion but rather cultivating support against a person or a group.

Scenario #3 (Your personal views do not apply at official organizations/institutions or places of business, NOT OK)

At work, for example, you are paid to dress, perform and behave in a pre-formulated manner dictated by the company and you accepted to abide by; thus, keep your personal opinions to yourself and not force them on colleagues/customers in the work environment. IF this is not acceptable to you, and that is fine, tou have the option to quit and join another company or profession that is inline with your personal beliefs.

It's worthy to note that some jobs, like psychology/therapy, judiciary requires it's professionals to conduct themselves in a manner conforming to policies all the time and not only during on-duty times.

Sex and Gender

People often use the terms “sex” and “gender” interchangeably, but this is incorrect. Sex refers to biological physical differences, while gender is how people identify.

Sex is usually categorized as female or male but there is variation in the biological attributes that comprise sex and how those attributes are expressed. Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors, expressions and identities of girls, women, boys, men, and gender diverse people.

Someone who identifies with the gender that they were assigned at birth is called “cisgender.”

Someone who is not cisgender and does not identify within the gender binary — of man or woman, boy or girl — may identify as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer, among other identities.

A person whose gender identity is different from their natal sex might identify as transgender.

A person may fully or partially identify with existing gender roles. They may not identify with any gender roles at all. People who do not identify with existing gender binaries may identify as nonbinary. This umbrella term covers a range of identities, including genderfluid, bigender, and gender-neutral.

Conclusion:

“Gender refers to the socially constructed characteristics of women and men, such as norms, roles, and relationships of and between groups of women and men. It varies from society to society and can be changed.”

Gender roles in some societies are more rigid than in others. However, these are not always set in stone, and roles and stereotypes can shift over time.

The conclusion of all this is this: “Be and live the way you see fit for yourself, and let others do the same”.

And remember, if you see someone going out of their way to push illogical views on the rest, it could very well be planted-saboteurs, don’t fall for their obvious agenda to divide and control; instead, just ignore them and don’t give them any attention to send them a clear message that you are not easily manipulated. After all, no one is forcing you to be the way you want to be, therefore, don’t let others force anything on anyone.

My views:

Off course I accept the LGBTQ+ and welcome everyone who's not pushing their ideology on the rest; "Live and let live" is my motto.
