queer: Encyclopedia II - Dyke lesbian - Use in LGBT culture

Originally an insulting term applied to lesbians by non-lesbians, the term has been reclaimed amongst most lesbians, and the LGBT community as a whole, and is usually used in a non-pejorative sense as simple alternative to 'lesbian' or 'gay woman'. It is often used to generally refer to lesbians; it may also be used to indicate a political overtone, or to specifically refer to a more masculine or butch woman. The term is also more rarely (and very informally) used to refer to gay men ...

queer: Encyclopedia II - Transgender - Partially Exclusive Categories

The definition for transgendered person remains in flux, but the most accepted one currently is: People who were assigned a gender, usually at birth and based on their genitals, but who feel that this is a false or incomplete description of themselves. Another one is: Non-identification with, or non-presentation as, the gender one was assigned at birth. Transgender people may or may not have had medical gender reassignment therapy, also called sexual reassignment surgery, and may or may ...

queer: Encyclopedia II - Dyke lesbian - Origins

The word may have originated from the Celtic language (the name, Boudicca, was that of a powerful queen). The use of the term bulldyke would seem to support this theory. Other theories involve the word "morphadike" which is a variant of "hermaphrodite" used in the early 20th century (potentially related to Sigmund Freud's insistance that homosexuality was the result of proposed fetal hermaphroditity in both ...

The Semitic sound value of Qôp (perhaps originally qaw cord) was /q/ (voiceless uvular plosive).

queer: Encyclopedia - Cunt

Cunt is an English term that refers to the human female genitals. It is considered by many to be the most offensive word in the English language.

queer: Encyclopedia II - Transgender - Other Issues

(Trans-)gender identity is different from, though related to, sexual orientation. Sexual orientations among transgender people vary just as much as they do among cisgender people. Although few studies have been done, transgender groups almost always report that their members are more likely to be attracted to those with the same gender identity, compared to the population as a whole; that is, transwomen are more likely to be attracted to other women, and transmen are more likely to be attracted to other men. Many transgender people who are attracted to others of the same gender ...

queer: Encyclopedia II - Transgender - Transsexual

Transsexual people are people who desire to have, or have achieved, a different physical sex from that which they were assigned at birth. One typical (though oversimplified) explanation is of a "woman trapped in a man's body" or vice versa; many transsexual women state that they were in fact always of the female gender, but were assigned the male gender as a child on the basis of their genitals, and having realized that they a ...
