What does the I and A stand for??

Question

Yea just wondering.

Answer 1

So the LGBT+ acronym is very long, that’s why we use the plus. Luna did a post on it a while back.

Usually the I stands for Intersex, which means a person has both male and female reproductive organs, either naturally or by surgery.

There are several different As in the acronym but usually the first one stands for Ally, a straight cisgender person who stands with and supports the community. Sometimes the first one is Asexual/Aromantic, a person who has no sexual/romantic attraction towards others. They are mostly called Ace and Aro. You don’t have to be both Ace and Aro, for example you could be Panromantic and Ace (romantically attracted to all genders but sexually attracted to none).

Hope this isn’t too confusing :P

Answer 2

I stands for Intersex, which means, like, you are intersex. Lol, bad at descriptions, Luna can probably say something better.

A stands for Asexual and Ally, Asexual meaning you don’t feel attracted to anyone, and Ally meaning you support the LGBTQ+ community, AKA me!

Cool!! We are not very well educated about this stuff in Australia mainly because we have "tough" guys who are usually straight and "typical" girls who are usually straight (maybe bi sometimes) . So yea. Its not really discussed in depth. But now I know. I AM AN ALLY ALL THE WAY.
