First question… What does the "I" stand for in LGBTQIA

intersex

Deleted user

Someone who can identify as male, female, etc. Or it can mean you have both reproductive parts/hormones/chromosomes I think(sorry if I got it wrong)

@RedTheLoveless

Someone who can identify as male, female, etc.

That's genderfluid, from what I recall. Then there are also Demiboys and Demigirls.
Pretty sure that intersex is referencing which reproductive organs a person is born with.

Well, there's one really odd kinda specific situation that I've always wondered about but never asked:

If a biological female discovered (is that the right word?) she was trans (I think I'm using that right), but was attracted to girls, would she be considered gay or straight?

You are, good job.
I actually have been wondering that for a while

@blue_topaz

okay so first of all, if they were female biologically and they wanted to transition into a male, the correct pronouns are he, not she

second, if he was attracted only to girls and he was FtM (female to male) trans, then he would be considered straight, because he would be a male not a female, despite what his birth sex was.

@RedTheLoveless

Well if he's trans and likes girls then I would consider that straight? It's a little weird trying to figure that out in the transitioning stage of things, especially if he already had a partner and would have to come out to them, which just adds a whole new level of stress.

Basically: if a person is in that situation, don't pressure them to label themselves. They're under enough stress already and finding a label can add more unnecessary stress. If they like labels and prefer to use one, then sure, go ahead. If not, then just go with the description "trans guy who likes girls" until he finds something that makes him feel at home.
