    Dear all,

    May I request a sticky, compiled by someone with the know, for all terms and acronyms often used here?

    Some like FtM or what not, can be fairly easily worked out by context, sure, but I think it'd be helpful to all people if we had like a glossary and had it stickied.

    For example cismale or something...I don't get that at all.

    This is just an idea which I thought might be of benefit to a lot of people and help people to educate themselves.

    Peace :slight_smile:

    This wouldn't be a terrible idea

    I was thinking of this same thing, and I just read thru that thread, Owen, and there's some other terms that could be added, but I notice that the thread is closed. Also, language evolves, and new terms could come up at any time.

    Yeah I suggested compiling one myself when I was a mod, but I don't think anyone was keen. Can't remember why, I think it'd be a great idea to have all these terms in one place.
