  SPEAKER_01: But uh again, this is a G show.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_01: I try to keep things as G rated as possible.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_01: So it's really gonna be hard going over some of these definitions and stuff.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_01: So if you are not a G person, or or you just think this stuff, this type of definitions is too much for you, come back again.

  SPEAKER_01: Come back again, listen to uh listen to the WDM the next episode.

  SPEAKER_01: Uh but we're covering this today.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so that's your that's your warning.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_01: Um all definitions, unless otherwise noted, come from Oxford Learner's Dictionary.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_01: Without further ado, we're gonna hit the first L.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_01: We'll hit the L, which stands for lesbian, right?
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_01: And the definition of that is a native or inhabitant of a Greek island of lesbos.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_01: Good night, everybody.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: I kid you not, that was the first definition of lesbian.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_01: You are from the Greek island of lesbos.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_01: No, no.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: It is honest to God, the definition that we all know today is a woman who is uh engaged or engaged or active with other women, a woman who is attracted to other women.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: That's a lesbian.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: Okay?
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: We should know that by now.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_01: Again, this is 2023.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_01: We should know what the L and LGBTQ stands for.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: That being said, we're gonna hit the next letter.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_01: Gay, G, gay, uh, which means space same thing as lesbian, except for dudes.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, it's a dude that's attracted to other dudes.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_01: Again, whoa, not a big deal.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_01: We should know that by now.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_01: It's 2023.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_01: We should know what that means.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_01: But, but back in my day, back when I was a kid, we used gay as a slang, as a term, which now offensive, so don't be using it, which is which is an offensive way to describe something you find boring, stupid, and not attractive.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_01: Again, this is back in the early days where we didn't know gay stood for what it stands for now.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_01: We just thought when when that thing was gay, that's stupid, that's gay.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: But now, time has changed, 2023, ha.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_01: And even go further, further back, the Flintstones.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: The Flintstones intro, or as a intro or outro, is one of those two where they used to say, we'll have a gay old time, which means we'll have fun.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: We're full of fun, happiness, and full of fun.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_01: Still applies to today.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_01: So therefore, gay, what it stands for today.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: B.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: B stands for bisexual.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_01: Again, LGB.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_01: We know all this now.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_01: We know this means you are attracted to both.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_01: Best of both worlds, or you know, gift and a curse.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you like your vanilla, your chocolate, your ice cream, your uh butterscotch, your caramel, your mint chocolate, your chocolate chip, your rocky roll, your Oreo, Oreo bits and pieces.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_01: You like it all.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_01: Best of both worlds.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: Malts, shakes, all of it.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: You like it both.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: Bisexual.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_01: There you go.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_01: See, we all know this now.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_01: Now, here where it gets a little tricky, at least for me.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, the transgender is uh designating a person who is a sense of personal identity, and gender does not correspond with the person's sex at birth or does not otherwise conform to conventional notions of sex and gender.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_01: So, what that means to me is you born a dude, you feel like a girl.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: You're born a girl, you feel like a dude.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_01: That's it.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, that's that's basically how transgender, and then once you identify that, and now you can fix that, and you can reverse it and do all the hormone switches and that so you can be comfortable in your own skin.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: Congratulations.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_01: Welcome to 2023.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_01: You can do whatever you want to do, as long as you identify as that bang, and that's cool.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I would hate to be born with a dude's mentality and I'm female.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_01: Imagine the feeling you got that was you, you know.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_01: So thankfully we we can reverse that now and get that fixed for you, right?
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_01: So moving on, we are now on the Q part.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_01: Q, which stands for queer.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_01: Now, the Q the Q has evolved, so to speak.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: Now it's Q, either queer or questioning, but first let's hit queer.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_01: Queer's definition is strange, unusual, or odd.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: But um, in the uh more adult terms, defensive way of describing a gay person, especially a man, which is however also used by some gay people about themselves.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_01: Whatever, whatever that means.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: That's that's weird, but I'm not here to judge.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_01: So the Q also stands for questioning, and the definition of that is questioning one's gender, identity, and orientation, or all three of the process or explanation by people who may not be unsure, still exploring, concerned about applying social labels to themselves for various reasons.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: And this was like questioning was basically basically defining still exploring all options according to the the new Q.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: Q2?
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know, but that's the Q, right?
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_01: So now that's the the original five.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: But now we've added three more letters, a number and a plus sign.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_01: So now the L G B T Q is now evolved to L G B T Q IA2S plus as of this recording.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_01: IA2S Plus.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_01: So you might not know the IA2S plus.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_01: And there's actually another one, but uh that's not part of this acronym.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_01: Not part of this acronym, but there's another acronym that I found too.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_01: So let's get the the I.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_01: The I is the intersexual.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_01: Is so this one's a big one, and this one comes from um www.o-ulgbtq.org.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_01: So that's where I got the definition from.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_01: It states describing or relating to a person or animal that is both male and female, sex organs, and or other characteristics.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_01: Born with character character characteristics that do not fit the category of either male or female.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_01: Uh to go on, it identifies pertaining to someone's sex or their biological characteristics.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_01: NSX people are born with physical, hormonal, or genetic features that are either wholly female or wholly male.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: Or not nor wholly male.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_01: Or a combination of both.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: These features can manifest themselves with secondary sexual characteristics such as muscle mass, hair distribution, breast, and stature.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_01: Primary characteristics such as reproductive organs and genitalia and or in chromosomal structures and hormones.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: The example listed the intersex person may be born with atomical chromosomes like the XXY, or may have external genitalia which appears male, i.e., you know what I'm talking about, but also have a wound.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_01: Other common intersex traits include girls having large clits, testes, and lack a vaginal opening, like in the G shell.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_01: And boys may have notable small packages, uh divided so that it's formed more into a libia.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_01: There are 46 different intersex variations, but in short, intersex people are people who do not whose sex does not fit neatly into the male and female box.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_01: And this is also by www.ulgbtq.org.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_01: So there you go.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_01: The intersex is a very for me a very confusing state.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_01: Basically, in a nutshell, you're not whole male, whole female with a combination of women parts and male parts that are not fully there.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_01: That's where I got the definition from.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_01: That is the most interesting concept of the LGBTQIA 2S plus.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_01: The I.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, that's that's that's just mind-blowing that this is something that happens now.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_01: That genetics that the genetics can be this complex.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_01: But that's why we're here.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_01: That's why we're doing it.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_01: Discuss what all these what all these mean.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_01: Next is the asexual.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_01: The asexual not having sexual qualities, not interested in sex, not experiencing sexual attraction or desire to have sexual relationships with anybody.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_01: So this is your bisexual without the bipart.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_01: Right?
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_01: Just not identifying with wanting to do anything, which is very weird.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: But again, there are people out there that are asexual and that have no attraction to anybody.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_01: And you just imagine a world where you're not attracted to anybody that you couldn't find the slightest person attractive.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh man, that's that's gotta be rough.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_01: That's a uh you know, that's a robot.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_01: You know, that's a doo-doo-doo-doo doo.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: That's a robot.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: How can you go into this world and not have an attraction to anybody, to anything?
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I mean, how far does that go?
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_01: Does that go to food or anything like that?
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's a question.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_01: So, yeah.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: So that is, oh no, no, no, no.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not done.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, no, no.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_01: See, I've covered the I the A.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_01: The A is the non-sexual robot.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, two spirited.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_01: You may be like, I've never heard of that one.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm doing my research.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_01: I never heard of it too until I looked it up.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_01: Two spirited is the is the indigenous people's way to identify to have both a masculine and feminine spirit.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_01: I'll repeat, a two-spirited is an indigenous person who identifies of having both a masculine and feminine spirit.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_01: That's that's the definition I got.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_01: And that came from uh www.queervents.ca.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_01: You can find it there.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: So that is the oh, and the plus.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: The plus sign is the ally, the person who who uh who identifies who these people are and be like, yo, you know what?
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_01: I don't care.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_01: I don't care what you are, you can be whatever you are.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_01: I stand with you.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_01: That's what we do here in WDW and we are standing with these people to uh support them in their in their ways.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_01: And, you know, hey, you don't gotta be involved with them.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_01: You don't gotta be like, you know, do you want to go to this LGBTQIA 2S plus party?
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_01: You can say, no.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_01: But if you want to go, I support you from over here in my house.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_01: Go and have fun.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_01: That's what that's what that's what it boils down to.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_01: We need to understand and and love each other and support each other despite our differences.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_01: If you want to do that, go do that.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: Go and have fun your way.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna have fun my way.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_01: And that's that.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_01: And that's what we should we should do.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_01: But I want to throw in a def a um another interesting one that's not part of the the current LGBTQIA 2S plus.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_01: The pansexual.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_01: So this person is sexually attracted to people with without regard of their sex or general identity.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_01: And here is a here is, and this is the definition that I found.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_01: Excuse me.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_01: Here's a lot to overlap between the bisexual and the pansexual.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_01: But the most cited difference is that a pansexual is more focused on the person rather than the gender or sex identity.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: Whereas bisexuality is more of an awareness to gender and sex, and may have limitations to which gender and sexes they feel attracted to.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_01: However, there are many different definitions of bisexual bisexuality and pansexuality.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_01: The ultimate self-perception and self-definition is the most important thing.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_01: And that comes from www.ou lgbtq.org.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_01: Pansexual.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_01: That means they're attracted to the soul of somebody, right?
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_01: That's how I see it.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_01: That's how I'm my definition of it.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_01: They're attracted to the soul of somebody, not just the body of the person, because they are attracted to the person regardless of the of the sexual identity, which is weird.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_01: But not weird, but unique and cool.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_01: So that was my definition of or going over the LGBTQIA 2S Plus, right?
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: So that being said, I've covered that.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_01: But guess what?
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_01: I found one that is almost 16 letters long.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not playing.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_01: 16 letters long.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_01: And it's a whopper.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_01: It's a whopper.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_01: Um, first off, let me get these 16 letters together so I can go over.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not, no, I'm not defining each one.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just gonna go over it, tell you what it is, and we're calling it an episode, right?
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_01: So, 16 letters.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_01: Ready?
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_01: L G B T I Q C A P G N G F N B A.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_01: That's the 16 letters.
