Queer is an umbrella term for people whose sexual orientation, gender identity, sex characteristics and/or gender expression does not conform to societal norms and expectations. The queer umbrella includes (but is not limited to) trans people, gay men, lesbians, bisexual, pansexual, asexual and intersex people. Sexual orientation describes who a person is attracted to or falls in love with. Sexual orientation is unique to each individual. It can be static or change over time. People can be attracted to individuals of the same gender, of another gender, more than one gender and for some people gender is not a factor in their attraction. Some people experience little or no attraction to other people. Some people choose to name or label their sexual orientation, but others do not. Heterosexual: attraction to people of a different gender (straight) Homosexual: attraction to people of the same gender (gay/lesbian) Bisexual: attraction to people of more than one gender Pansexual: attraction to people regardless of their gender Asexual: experiencing little or no sexual attraction towards other people BDSM orientation: attraction to people that share a need for consensual and negotiated power exchange Sex characteristics are about biology. Sex characteristics are e.g. our hormones, chromosomes and reproductive organs, both internal and external. Most people are born with sex characteristics that align with typical male or female bodies. However, some people are born with sex characteristics that do not fit these norms. Some people who have atypical sex characteristics use the term intersex to describe themselves. Endosex: people born with sex characteristics that align with typical male or female bodies Intersex: people born with sex characteristics that do not fit the typical definition of male and female bodies Gender identity is about one’s own sense and feelings of gender. Gender identity is not about genitals, biology or appearance, but rather about how we experience our gender. Some people’s gender identity aligns with the gender they were assigned at birth (i.e. the gender which is assumed based on their genitalia); in other words, they are cisgender. Other people’s gender identity does not align with the gender they were assigned at birth; in other words, they are trans (sometimes referred to as transgender). Cisgender: a person whose gender identity aligns with the gender they were assigned at birth Transgender: an umbrella term for people whose gender identity does not match the gender they were assigned at birth Trans woman: a woman who was assigned male at birth Trans man: a man who was assigned female at birth Non-binary: someone who does not identify as either a man or a woman, but perhaps in between, as both or neither. Some prefer genderqueer or another term Gender confirmation / transitioning: a medical process some trans people go through e.g. taking hormones or having surgery For more information and support: Samtökin ’78 – The National Queer Organisation of Iceland www.samtokin78.is skrifstofa@samtokin78.is tel. 552 7878 The office is open every weekday from 1pm to 4pm For further information on queer terminology, stories of personal experience and queer theory, please visit Samtökin ‘78’s information website www.otila.is WHAT IS Gender expression is how people communicate their gender through body language, clothing and hairstyle, behaviour and so on. Gender expression is often viewed on a spectrum between masculinity and femininity and is imprinted in people from an early age. Ideas about gender and gender expression are culturally informed and often based on stereotypes. Masculine gender expression: aligns with societal expectations for men Feminine gender expression : aligns with societal expectations for women Androgynous gender expression: can be a combination or interplay of masculinity and femininity into an ambiguous form Atypical/gender non-conforming gender expression: does not conform to stereotypical or societal expectations of gender WHAT IS SEXUAL ORIENTATION?
