Love and Identity is not Stationary

When something is stationary, it means that it does not move or change, but we need to learn to know that someone's sexuality or identity is not stationary, it can change and in most cases, it will change. Everything is always changing, which is good because years ago you couldn't talk about something much less someone who was part of LGBTQ+, but gradually things came to change. Now you can, but you can't just stop change when it gets to be too much and you don't understand it anymore, because when that happens people don't get the representation they need and deserve.

We say that this world is great and they love change, but when things change too much for them, they try to silence change. An example of this is in the 90s and early 2000s the only things talked about were Gay, Lesbian, or Transgender; and if you tried to say that you were something different from those then you were incorrect. Even now in 2022 if you try to come out and it differs from what or how someone thinks then you are incorrect and wrong. Now there are twenty-nine different sexualities and twenty different gender identities.

There are twenty-nine different sexualities and most people don't get represented because people feel like it's more of a burden to them to learn more and educate themselves and would rather tear down people who are something other than what they believe. The twenty-nine different sexualities are 1 - Abrosexual which describes someone whose sexuality is fluid or changeable.

The timing between fluctuations can also vary. 2 - Androphilic / Androsexual which describes someone who is primarily attracted to masculinity, be this sexually, romantically, or aesthetically. These terms are useful for people who identify outside of the gender binary as unlike terms like gay or lesbian, they refer only to the presentation of the person someone is attracted to and not the person themselves.

There are twenty different gender identities and most people don't get represented because people feel like it's more of a burden to them to learn more and educate themselves and would rather tear down people who are something other than what they believe. The twenty different gender identities are 1 - Intersex is someone who is born with a variation of sex characteristics that do not fit the typical male and female. These variations can be chromosomes, gonads, sex hormones, or genitals. Some people may be identified as intersex from birth, others may find out later in life, and some people may never learn that they are intersex. 2 - Cisgender is a term for people whose gender identity fits with the sex they were assigned at birth. Cisgender can therefore be used to describe people who are not transgender. 3 - Transgender is someone whose gender identity does not match the sex they were assigned at birth. Some trans people transition and change their name, are prescribed hormones, and have surgery to align their bodies with their gender identity. Some trans people may only do some of those things, whereas other trans people may not transition at all. A trans person's identity is not determined by how, or if, they transition. 4 - Non-Binary is someone who does not identify with the binary genders of male and female. Non-binary is often used as an umbrella term for someone who does not fit the gender binary. Other terms such as ‘agender’ and ‘genderqueer’ may come under the non-binary umbrella but are also terms in their own right. 5 - Genderfluid is someone whose gender is not fixed but can move fluidly along the spectrum from masculinity to femininity. Their gender may fluctuate throughout the day, over weeks or months, or depending on their environment. 6 - Genderqueer is a term used by those who identify outside of the binary genders of male and female. Genderqueer can be used as an umbrella term for people whose gender expression and/or identity rejects the gender binary. 7 - Greygender / Graygender is someone who is ambivalent about their gender and who usually identifies outside of the gender binary. Greygender people are not entirely without a gender identity, they may just not be invested in the concept of gender and therefore feel less of an inclination to express it. 8 - Genderflux is someone whose gender varies in intensity over time. Genderflux can be seen as a form of gender fluidity and genderflux people may also identify as transgender, genderqueer, or non-binary. 9 - Boyflux is someone who mostly identifies as male but also experiences fluctuation in their gender identity.

With the percentage of people who are part of LGBTQ pride being at the highest it's been at 10% of the population is part of pride, we can't just sit around and be quiet. We can't silence change, we have to be a part of the change, educate yourselves and be open about it because whether some people like it or not, the world is always changing and we can't just sit and silence it because then no one gets represented and it hurts everyone in the process.
