8. • Ally – This term describes an individual with social or
economic privilege who engages in practices that
challenge and transform ideas, values, and behaviors
that afford others less privilege.
• Asexual - A term used as both a self-description and a
means to describe those who do not experience sexual
attraction and/or lack interest in sex. Unlike celibacy,
which people choose, asexuality is an enduring or
continuing orientation toward sexuality.
• Bisexual – A term used as both a self-description and a
means to describe those who classify themselves as
possessing significant sexual/romantic attraction to
individuals who are attracted to men and women,
though not necessarily equally or simultaneously.
• Cissexual or Cis-Person – “Trans” means “across” or “on
the opposite side of,” whereas “cis” means “on the
same side of.” Someone who was assigned one sex at
birth, but comes to identify and live as a member of
another sex, is called “transsexual” (because they are
said to have crossed from one sex to another).
Someone who lives and identifies as the same sex that
they were assigned at birth is called a “cissexual.

9. • Drag – This term describes the wearing of clothing
associated with one gender by an individual of
another gender, often with exaggerated
characteristics. Individuals who perform in drag are
referred to as Drag Kings and Drag Queens.
• Fag Hag – A term primarily used to describe
women who prefer the social company of gay men.
While this term is claimed in an affirmative manner
by some, others consider it derogatory.
• Gender – Whereas sex (M or F) is a term to classify
people biologically (often based on physical
anatomy, reproductive capabilities, chromosomes,
etc.), gender is the social meanings, obligations,
and expectations ascribed (by one’s self or society)
to sexed bodies.

10. • (Mis)Gendering – A term used to describe the process
by which people categorize other people’s gender,
based on perceived morphology, without regard to
how the other person self- identifies. These
misperceptions can cause the mis-gendered person to
feel distress, anxiety, depression, and invisible.
• Gender-Confirming Surgery – A term used to describe
the surgery that trans* identified individuals undergo
to modify their body to better fit their identity
• Gender Dysphoria (Gender Identity Disorder until

Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), GD refers to
people who experience intense, persistent gender
incongruence.
• Gender Non-Conforming – A term used to describe
people who do not conform to the traditional gender
binary of male and female. One may identify as male,
female, or trans* and also as gender non-conforming.

11. Genderqueer – is a term that some people use who
identify their gender as falling outside the binary
constructs of “male” and “female.” They may define
their gender as falling somewhere on a continuum
between male and female, or they may define it as
wholly different from these terms. They may also
request that pronouns be used to refer to them that are
neither masculine nor feminine, such as “zie” instead of
“he” or “she,” or “hir” instead of “his” or “her.” Some
genderqueer people do not identify as transgender.
Heteronormative – This concept describes actions,
institutions, ideologies, and systems that assume
heterosexuality is the normal sexual orientation.
Heterosexism – A term used to describe beliefs and
practices that privilege heterosexuals over homosexuals.
Heterosexism is rooted in the belief that homosexual
people are in some way inferior or abnormal; as such it
results in systems that marginalize and alienate LGBTQ
people.

12. Hir – Pronounced “here”, this term is a non-
gendered pronoun used by some trans* people to
connote one’s identity as both male and female. It
corresponds to “his, her, and him”.
Homosexual – A term that came into common
usage in the mid-twentieth century to describe (1)
men who have emotional, romantic, or sexual
attractions and relationships with men— exclusively
(2) and, women who have emotional, romantic, or
sexual attractions and relationships with women—
exclusively. Given its use in pathologizing and
criminalizing same- sex relations, many prefer the
terms “gay” or “lesbian” to describe their identities.
Intersexed Person – Formerly described by scientist
as hermaphrodites, intersex is the preferred term
used by intersexed people to describe their
biological sex, whose combination of chromosomes,
hormones, internal sex organs, and genitals (micro
penis, macro vagina) differs from one of the two
expected patterns, either male or female.

13. • LGBTQIA – An acronym for “Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning,
Intersexed, and Allies” and is sometimes
referred to as the “alphabet soup” because the
number of genders and sexualities represented
in the acronym have grown over time.
– A+ = Agender, Asexual, and Ally community.
• Outing – A term used to describe the act of
exposing someone, without their consent, as
gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer,
intersex, or questioning; in essence “outing”
them from the closet

experience of light-skinned African Americans
who were perceived as white, the term is now
also used to describe the experience of trans*
people who are perceived as cisgender.

15. • Polysexual – A term used to describe someone who
has an enduring or continuing orientation toward
sexual encounters and/or intimate relationships
that include more than two people.
• Queer – Originally a derogatory slur, this term has
been reclaimed since the 1980s, primarily among
middle-class European Americans in activist, artistic,
and scholarly communities, as an umbrella word to
encompass all people who diverge from hetero- and
homonormative genders and sexualities.
• Questioning – This term describes people who are
curious about their sexual orientation and/or
gender identity and do not feel that they fit neatly
into any one classification system.
• Sexual Orientation – Refers to an individual’s
enduring physical, romantic, and/or emotional
attraction to another person, whereas gender
identity refers to one’s internal sense of being male,
female, or something else.

16. • Sex Reassignment Surgery – Popularly known as a
“sex change operation,” “sex reassignment surgery”
is the medical term to describe these surgical
procedures. While many trans* people do not
surgically alter their physical anatomy, some seek to
modify their body to be in concert with their gender
identity. This surgery, which is not covered by most
health insurance plans, is not as common as
hormone therapy.
• Transgender or Trans* – Transgender or trans* is an
umbrella term for people whose gender identity is
different from the sex they were assigned at birth
• Transsexual – A term used to describe a person who
(1) identifies as a gender/sex other than the one they
were given at birth and (2) who seeks or is seeking
body modification (such as hormones, surgeries) in
order to express their internal sense of gender.
• Ze – Pronounced “zee” or “see,” this term
corresponds to “he and she” and is used as a gender-
neutral pronoun.

17. Statistics

18. Transgender Debate
• Should individuals determine their own sexual identity? Or, should
sex and gender be understood as synonymous?

19. Transgender Debate
• Should the states allow individuals to select bathrooms according to
preferred gender identity (pre/post sex change)?
ARIZONA
2013
S.B.1432 would have allowed police to demand identification from
anyone suspected of using the 'wrong' public bathrooms or
showers, meaning the facilities assigned to the sex not matching
the sex on their birth certificate.
Guilty – 6 months in jail, $2500 fine

May 2016
Officials from the Justice and Education Departments issue a
memo to all school districts concerning discrimination in schools.
The memo announces that, unless schools uphold the Obama
administration’s trans-inclusive interpretation of Title IX, they risk
being confronted with a lawsuit or loss of funding.
February 2017
President Trump revokes the Obama-era interpretation of Title IX
that protects transgender students from discrimination based on
gender, putting the Trump administration at odds with several
federal courts that have concluded that Title IX does protect trans
students.

33. Should sex or sexual orientation determine
which bathroom a person uses?
The Year of 2013 - Arizona
“PHOENIX - A prominent Republican lawmaker in Arizona wants to
link public bathroom use to birth certificates in what civil rights
advocates are calling the nation's toughest anti-transgender
measure. The bill would require people to use public restrooms,
dressing rooms or locker rooms associated with the sex listed on
their birth certificate or face six months in jail.” – Christina Silva
(5-3 passed)

34. Should people (be required to) address others
according to their preferred gender?"
Bill C-16 means that it
could be a hate-crime to
willingly refuse to call
someone by their
preferred gender
Was Ben Shapiro wrong?
Or, should he be imitated?

54. Scriptures
Genesis 1 Mark 10 (Reaffirmation)
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be
fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth
and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and
the birds in the sky and over every living
creature that moves on the ground.”
6 “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made
them male and female.’ 7 ‘For this reason a
man will leave his father and mother and be
united to his wife, 8and the two will become
one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one
flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined
together, let no one separate.”

56. They explain that “In humans, reproductive anatomy is unambiguously
male or female at birth more than 99.98% of the time.” Humans, just
like most animals and plants, have two distinct biological sexes with the
corresponding anatomy for reproduction. “No third type of sex cell
exists in humans, and therefore there is no sex ‘spectrum’ or additional
sexes beyond male and female. Sex is binary.” Wright and Hamilton

Luke 15: 1-3: Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. 2
And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and
eats with them.” 3 So he told them this parable:
- Lost Sheep is Rescued - REJOICE
- Lost Coin is Found - REJOICE
- Lost Son Comes Back – REJOICE (father) … OLDER SON (does not rejoice)
25 “Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he
heard music and dancing. 26 And he called one of the servants and asked what these
things meant. 27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed
the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.’ 28 But he was
angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, 29 but he answered
his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your
command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.
30 But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes,
you killed the fattened calf for him!’ 31 And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with
me, and all that is mine is yours. 32 It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your
brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’”
