Exactly. Do you have an "innie" or and "outie"? Now, I have known good folk who were (imo) truly born in the wrong gender, and lived as the other until they were surgically corrected. I have no animosity toward those who are sexually ambiguous or even uncertain. I really don't care who sleeps with whom. I don't announce my preference upon meeting folk. I am concerned with equality. I think all people should be equal in the eyes of the law.
LGBTQIA. I don't understand "Q". It stands, apparently for "questioning". Okay, but you're still one gender or another. I don't understand "I" either. Intersex, as I labour to understand it, is an indeterminant sexuality that might swing either way. I don't think I am tuned enough to understand the difference between that and bisexual, since a person is one gender or another, despite their identification and the person with whom they have sex with. WHOOF. "A" -- asexual. I really don't intend to be mean, but isn't this just another way of saying 'not gettin' any?' I want to be respectful of people's identifications, however I think the onus is upon them to let us know how to refer to them. I also don't care for the shaming of those who -- without mean intent -- accidentally choose the wrong pronoun.
What I also find very clunky is the thought of future introductions: "Hi! I'm argentus, a heteromale, with latent epicurousness. I like unicorns."
Does that sound intolerant? I hope not. I think I'm fairly open-minded. I have done a lot of sketchy crap in my time. I don't think I'm completely finished.
