Ye so I am new here and don't understand most of the slang and stuff like that. :help!):smilewave:rolle::lol:
I was really confused about a lot of the transgendered terms on here until I read this A few Transgender terms defined - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people coming out
Stuff like pan fluid, Bi--Kinsey 4-ish just the terms used in the orientation and gender box area thing. ---------- Post added 15th Dec 2013 at 10:51 PM ---------- Thanks for that it helped with some of my questions.
Well for the Kinsey scale number, it means how bisexual, heterosexual, or homosexual they see themselves as. It's a continuum from 0 to 6 where a 0 is exclusively straight and a 6 is exclusively gay. The higher the number, the more "gay" they see themselves in how attracted they are to members of the same sex. Here's a graphic to better understand the Kinsey scale.
"Pan" means the person is attracted to all genders (including genderqueer people who don't identify as male or female), also described as being attracted to the person not the gender. Some people consider pansexuality and bisexuality the same thing. "Fluid" means that the person's sexuality changes, whether that is daily or weekly or randomly. You'd have to ask them how far and how often it changes. "Bi--Kinsey 4--ish" means the person identifies as bisexual but leaning homosexual according to the Kinsey scale. 0 = heterosexual and 6 = homosexual. The "ish" means that they're somewhere around a 4 and their sexuality may vary slightly.
That help so much thanks (*hug*) ---------- Post added 15th Dec 2013 at 11:08 PM ---------- Same goes to you thanks a bunch guys
