Heteroflexible language

Heteroflexible Language

Quote:

The San Francisco Chronicle informs us that the term "homosexual" is not appropriate when referring to gay people anymore ("too pathological and clinical") and that a whole host of new words are popping up to describe Bay Area folks who don't fit into the whole "binary male-female system."

"Genderqueer" is someone who thinks there are more than two sexes and doesn't consider himself or herself male or female. Someone who is "pansexual" is attracted to people of multiple genders.

In the transgender (someone with a "gender identity different from the one assigned at birth") community, a "trannydyke" is a transgender person attracted to people "with a more feminine gender" and a "trannyfag" is someone attracted to people with "a more masculine gender."

A "boi" is usually a "biological female" with a boyish manner. She might feel like a boy with a "y," but since she doesn't have the "boy parts" then boi with an "i" is preferable.

And among people of color, the Chronicle says, the term "queer" sounds too white so they prefer the terms "same-gender-loving people" or "men who sleep with men."

The list goes on: "boydyke," "trannyboy, " "multigendered," "polygendered," "queerboi," "transboi," "transguy," "transman," "half-dyke," "bi-dyke," "stud," "stem," "trisexual," "omnisexual," and "multisexual."

I like "person" better. It seems that some groups decry labels but then go out of their way to create more.

wow that's confusing...

albionmoonlight · 02-16-2004, 01:53 PM

I agree with Bucc.

rkmsuf · 02-16-2004, 01:57 PM

I dare someone to walk up to a person in SF and say "Hey Trannyboy..."

hukarez · 02-16-2004, 02:06 PM

Just stick to 'gay'. All that heteroflexible stuff is far too confusing, and it's a subject I'd rather not think too hard about in any case.

And the sooner the better.

Bubba Wheels · 02-16-2004, 02:22 PM

Can't wait to see how other politically incorrect terms are to be socially engineered for our consumption. Maybe the Chronicle will put out a list for us to abide by.

Desnudo · 02-16-2004, 02:32 PM

Fortunately, unless you hang out at Nuts N' Bolts in the Castro, you don't really have to worry about it. San Francisco news reads like The Onion, except it's real.

Where's Christopher Walken and a giant earthquake device when you really need it?

SI

BigJohn&TheLions · 02-16-2004, 04:49 PM

Carlin put it best when he said that when he was young "fag" wasn't even associated with being gay. It was a guy who was a wuss. A "fag" was a guy who wouldn't go downtown with you to beat up queers...

Sure, I make a James Bond reference and it gets Fritzed into Richard Gere and the Gerbil, Part II.

So does that make Avril's "skaterboi" a skater that's "'biological female' with a boyish manner?" Brings a whole new meaning to the song...

Call me a California-hater, pretentious linguist hater, or James Bond fan- I've done all of those in this thread. But, if you don't want to be lumped in with one nutty faction of a group, don't go around doing it to others.

If it doesnt apply to you fine, but I hope you're not suggesting that this is not a gay bashing thread.

CamEdwards · 02-17-2004, 05:54 AM

I love the fact that "queer" sounds too white for some people. This amuses me to no end for some reason.
