We've barely scratched the surface of gender-ocean 😆 but I'm glad that y'all are interested in knowing about it. I'm also getting to know more while sharing this. There is so much more to know. Don't shy from asking questions.

Wow this is very interesting and informative. I did know abt shikhandi and Mohini but other information is new to me. Thank you for this information.

Ila is an example

Even Aruna/Aruni

Indian Mythology did have LGBT themes here and there

Agreeing with Shibani

Ardhanareshwar combines the female cosmic energy and male cosmic energy which give birth to the graceful and enigmatic Ardhanareshwar

I remember even cross-dressing was there...

I have a question about genderqueer and non-binary people. Are they the same? If not, how are they different? I did some reading on the internet but it has only left me more confused.

Also, how does a non-binary person define their sexual orientation? Is it similar to trans people, wherein gender identity is used as the basis? Since they don't identify with the gender binary, how does this work?

Thank you, and apologies if my questions seem too inane/ignorant!

I am currently reading "What's The T" by Juno Dawson (who I also met a few years ago). It deconstructs a lot of the terminology.

I would recommend it - and also wanna start by saying that a lot of the terminology is still undergoing change and evolving, so that's why there's confusion. There are even Trans/Non-Binary, Gender Non-Conforming people that are unsure of what all the differences are.

I think Genderqueer and Non-Binary are pretty much the same. Other terms such as Genderf*ck and Androgynous fall under the same category. I think it just depends on what the individual feels better represented by. In the UK the term "Non Binary" is seen on forms and surveys, whereas Genderqueer is more a radical term and more of a "F *** Y **" to societal norms.

How does a NB person define their sexuality?

The same way as anyone else would. They could be heterosexual, homo, bi, pan or other. They might not identify personally with the gender binary, but could be into girls exclusively, or femme presenting boys or pansexual or asexual or other.

It's not a festival sweety! It's a movement for basic human rights and equal treatment.

https://www.itspronouncedmetrosexual.com/2012/02/sexual-orientation-for-the-genderqueer/

Most (enbys n genderfluid/genderqueer) people also use the terms gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, etc to define themselves. So it's a personal choice. There are a whole lot of other terminologies which are even more confusing do I'm not introducing it here, even I don't understand them all.

Thank you! This explains it really well, and coincidentally, I read up the same website and when you use the terms - Androsexual, gynesexual, skoliosexual it eliminates some of the confusion because they don't use the person's identity/orientation, only define the people they're attracted to orientation-wise.

This is an amazing article!! Very informative! 🤗 I'm glad you're so inquisitive and reaching out to resources 💖
