This is amazing. Thankyou for making this. I love the effort you took to emphasise that language is ever changing and that people don't have to look a certain way to identify. Thanks Vic Deaf! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Thank you so much! I love how each identity was described and learning the signs for them all. I'm in qld and I only knew signs for gay and lesbian so this was a big help.
My friend uses a different sign for transgender. But I use the one in the video. I think we could borrow signs from ASL for asexual/intersex? And I kinda like the ASL version for queer too. I also see a different sign for queer over here (in Perth). I haven't seen that one before.
Can I check I read that spelling right? He said 16 different types of genitals... and I reading him correctly. Because genitals are a person's or animal's external organs of reproduction. There is only male and female organs/genitals. You can " identify " as whatever but I just wanted to check the spelling as for reasons just stated.
No, there are over sixteen different ways to be intersex. This was not stated in the context of genitalia or gender identity. For example, people can have XXY chromosomes, a condition called AIS (Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome if I'm not mistaken), or a wide variety of other conditions that do not fit into society's binary notions of sex. These can result in ambiguous genitalia, but do not always. And sex does not equal gender - your last comment doesn't make much sense because the person in the video was explaining physical intersex varieties, not mental gender identities. Does that make sense? If not, I'd be happy to clarify - it's quite late here.
