LGBTitp - part III

[SMEE]

Welcome.

This is a thread were we, LGBT people, use to discuss, share our experiences, give general advice and support.

Of course, everyone is welcome to post their views regarding the matter here.
I just ask that we keep this topic free of politics and religion. It's beyond the scope of this thread to discuss whether LGBT is "right" or "not".
Let us not post sexually explicit content as well, okay?

If you would rather ask for advice or post your story or your view regarding the matter, you can use the address below to send an anonymous message to be posted in this thread.

Keep in mind that content which contain strong language may be filtered, and content that goes against the forum rules won't be posted at all.

Here are the links for the first two threads, where much useful information lies:

And to start...
I'm lactating... almost as much as a mom that has given birth... Trying to see if the local milk banks will accept it...

Now, let us continue with our schedule.

Milk banks? There are milk banks?
Is there any bodily fluid you can't donate to people?

Milk is a bodily fluid?

[SMEE]

Milk banks? There are milk banks?

Yup, there are. And they're very important as the donated milk is used to feed premature babies while they can't leave the incubator to be feed by his mom.

*wants to be able to donate her milk so much *

[Collin152]

Milk is a bodily fluid?

It's fluid, it comes from the body, it qualifies, doesn't it?

Oh. Aww. Do they not let you? I don't see why. It should be pretty much exactly the same as most other women's milk, right?

[Thufir]

...I was about to say exactly this.
GET OUT OF MY BRAIN!!!!!

[Lyesmith]

I am never eating lunch at 4PM ever again. It sets my bodyclock to midnight.
"Is milk a bodily fuild" AUGH what an idiot.

[Collin152]

...I was about to say exactly this.

But.. but... Where shall I go? What shall I do?

[Lyesmith]

Get a job, you schmoozer!
Honestly, kids these days...

Also, edit from the last thread-thing.

The movie. About the gay guy. Therefore, pertinent to this thread.

Does the new thread have to be called LGBTitp?

Aha!
I'd not heard about it from anyplace in the UK (Is it about the first openly gay senator? Or am I getting confused?), so pardon my ignorance.

Milk banks? There are milk banks?

Cerebral-spinal fluid?

From the older thread:

LGBTQQUITPPOA&O itp

So people, do you all agree with it? If so, I'm changing the tittle.

[Collin152]

What about "LGBTerrific"?

[mercurymaline]

Sorry, messed up, there should be another A in there.

[Raistlin1040]

O.o

What the hell does that ridiculously large acronym mean?

[rankrath]

I like LGBTeriffic for the thread name. LGBTQQUITPPOA&O, while more correct/inclusive is a bit too long to be recognizable/usable. We're a support/discussion thread, not a government organization.

[mercurymaline]

I was kidding, honestly. LGBTQQUITPPOAA&O = Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual, Queer, Questioning, Unsure, Intersex, Transgender, Pansexual, Polyamorous, Omnisexual, Asexual, straight Allies & Other.

"LGBT Quit Poa-o" doesn't take /that/ long to say.

[Fawkes]

Why is the S in straight lowercase?

[CrimsonAngel]

Isn't Asexual when you don't need to have sex to reproduce?

[The Neoclassic]

Isn't Asexual when you don't need to have sex to reproduce?

Yes, in biology, but usually if a person refers to themselves as asexual, it means that they lack a romantic or sexual attraction to either/any gender (and are just fine with that). Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[Fawkes]

Isn't Asexual when you don't need to have sex to reproduce?

That would be 'asexual reproduction'. Asexual by itself just means 'without sex'. In this context, as a sexual orientation, asexual refers to people who do not experience sexual attraction.

Edit: Ninja'd.

[Innis Cabal]

Why not call it the sexual preference thread

[Raistlin1040]

No, it's people who have very little sexual attraction to others.

[Collin152]

Isn't Asexual when you don't need to have sex to reproduce?

Under one definition, yes. it also describes things that have no sex, even if they are thus incapable of reproducing because of it (obviously one generation mutants, as they can't really pass that trait on, can they?)

[Fawkes]

Why not call it the sexual preference thread

That probably wouldn't get the intended message across.

[Sneak]

Why is the S in straight lowercase?

I'm guessing because the S isn't in the acronym, while the A is.

[Fawkes]

I'm guessing because the S isn't in the acronym, while the A is.

Well, I knew that, but why isn't the S in the acronym?

Waaait a minute... you're not Dallas-Dakota...

[SMEE]

Why not call it the sexual preference thread

Because it not only deals with sexual preference. Transsexualism is completely unrelated to sexual preference, for one.

[Sneak]

Well, I knew that, but why isn't the S in the acronym?

I am offended, good sir. Your accusations wound me.

As to why the S isn't in the acronym...beats me. Maybe just to make the acronym work better.

Because it not only deals with sexual preference. Transsexualism is completely unrelated to sexual preference, for one.

Wouldn't "The Sexuality Thread" work?

[Fawkes]

Terminology question!

Is there a difference between Transgender, Transsexual, and Intersex, or are they all different terms for the same thing?

[mercurymaline]

Gender = gender identity, internal feelings, etc.
Sex = genitalia

Transgender is being a different gender than your body
Transexual is being surgically altered from your birth sex
Intersex is not identifying with being either male or female, mentally, socially or physically, due to surgery, birth "defect," or choice
