An evidence-based psychotherapy that began with efforts to treat personality disorders, and interpersonal conflicts. There is evidence that DBT can be useful in treating mood disorders, suicidal ideation, and for change in behavioral patterns such as self-harm and substance use. DBT evolved into a process in which the therapist and client work with acceptance and change-oriented strategies, and ultimately balance and synthesize them, in a manner comparable to the philosophical dialectical process of hypothesis and antithesis, followed by synthesis.

A group of inherited conditions of the adrenal glands, caused by enzyme defects in the synthesis of cortisol (hydrocortisone) and/or aldosterone leading to accumulation of precursors for androgens. Depending on the hormone imbalance, congenital adrenal hyperplasia can be classified as salt-wasting, hypertensive, virilizing, or feminizing. Defects in steroid 21-hydroxylase; steroid 11-beta-hydroxylase; steroid 17-alpha-hydroxylase; 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases); testosterone 5-alpha-reductase; or steroidogenic acute regulatory protein; among others, underlie these conditions.

A chemical compound with the formula C5H11ONO. A variety of isomers are known, but they all feature an amyl group attached to the nitrite functional group. The alkyl group is unreactive and the chemical and biological properties are mainly due to the nitrite group. Like other alkyl nitrites, amyl nitrite is bioactive in mammals, being a vasodilator, which is the basis of its use as a prescription medicine. As an inhalant, it also has a psychoactive effect, which has led to its recreational use with its smell being described as that of old socks or dirty feet.[1] It is also referred to as banapple gas.
A vasodilator that is administered by inhalation. It is also used recreationally due to its supposed ability to induce euphoria and act as an aphrodisiac.

A class of drugs producing both physiological and psychological effects through a variety of mechanisms. They can be divided into "specific" agents, e.g., affecting an identifiable molecular mechanism unique to target cells bearing receptors for that agent, and "nonspecific" agents, those producing effects on different target cells and acting by diverse molecular mechanisms. Those with nonspecific mechanisms are generally further classed according to whether they produce behavioral depression or stimulation. Those with specific mechanisms are classed by locus of action or specific therapeutic use.

A superfamily of hundreds of closely related hemeproteins found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria. They include numerous complex monooxygenases (mixed function oxygenases). In animals, these P-450 enzymes serve two major functions: (1) biosynthesis of steroids, fatty acids, and bile acids; (2) metabolism of endogenous and a wide variety of exogenous substrates, such as toxins and drugs (biotransformation). They are classified, according to their sequence similarities rather than functions, into CYP gene families (>40% homology) and subfamilies (>59% homology). For example, enzymes from the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 gene families are responsible for most drug metabolism.

One of several substances made in the body that can relieve pain and give a feeling of well-being. Endorphins are peptides (small proteins) that bind to opioid receptors in the central nervous system. An endorphin is a type of neurotransmitter.
One of the three major groups of endogenous opioid peptides. They are large peptides derived from the pro-opiomelanocortin precursor. The known members of this group are alpha-, beta-, and gamma-endorphin. The term endorphin is also sometimes used to refer to all opioid peptides, but the narrower sense is used here; opioid peptides is used for the broader group.

core gender identity
Note that while current models of gender support the idea that children categorize their own gender by around 3-6 years of age, personal conceptualization of gender identity can shift throughout a person's life (even within an individual category). Persons may identify with one, many, or no gender categories; additionally, pronoun use is not necessarily connected to gender identity.

Widely distributed enzymes that carry out oxidation-reduction reactions in which one atom of the oxygen molecule is incorporated into the organic substrate; the other oxygen atom is reduced and combined with hydrogen ions to form water. They are also known as monooxygenases or hydroxylases. These reactions require two substrates as reductants for each of the two oxygen atoms. There are different classes of monooxygenases depending on the type of hydrogen-providing cosubstrate (coenzymes) required in the mixed-function oxidation.

studies of religion
study of religion
A category used in the study of religion to demarcate the five—and in some cases six—largest and most internationally widespread religious movements. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism are always included in the list, being known as the "Big Five". Some scholars also include another religion, such as Taoism, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism, or the Baháʼí Faith, in the category. These are often juxtaposed against other categories, such as "Indigenous religions" and "new religious movements", which are also used by scholars in this field of research.
The world religions paradigm was developed in the United Kingdom in the 1960s, where it was pioneered by phenomenological scholars like Ninian Smart. It was designed to broaden the study of religion away from its heavy focus on Christianity by taking into account other large religious traditions around the world. The paradigm is often used by lecturers instructing undergraduate students in the study of religion and is also the framework used by school teachers in the UK and other countries. The paradigm's emphasis on viewing these religious movements as distinct and mutually exclusive entities has also had a wider impact on the categorisation of religion—for instance in censuses—in both Western countries and elsewhere. Since the late twentieth century, the paradigm has faced critique by scholars of religion like Jonathan Z. Smith, some of whom have argued for its abandonment. Critics have argued that the world religions paradigm is inappropriate because it takes the Protestant variant of Christianity as the model for what constitutes religion; that it is tied up with discourses of modernity, including modern power relations; that it encourages an uncritical understanding of religion; and that it makes a value judgement as to what religions should be considered "major". Others have argued that it remains useful in the classroom, so long as students are made aware that it is a socially constructed category.

A quality is an attribute that is intrinsically associated with its bearer (or its parts), but whose presence/absence and observed/measured value may vary.
The etymology of "quality" is fairly well elucidated coming from Middle English, from Old French qualité, from Latin qualitatem, accusative of qualitas, from qualis (“of what kind”), from Proto-Indo-European *kʷo- (“who, how”). Cicero coined qualitas as a calque to translate the Ancient Greek word ποιότης (poiótēs, “quality”), coined by Plato from ποῖος (poîos, “of what nature, of what kind”).

Testosterone undecanoate, sold for use by mouth under the brand names Andriol and Jatenzo and for use by injection under the brand names Aveed and Nebido, is an androgen and anabolic steroid (AAS) medication which is used mainly in the treatment of low testosterone levels in men, which includes hormone therapy for transgender men. It is taken by mouth two to three times per day with food or given by injection into muscle once every 3.5 days to 2 weeks, depending on individual response.
The undecanoate ester form of the androgen testosterone, with gonadotropin-secretory inhibiting and hormone replacement activity. As testosterone inhibits the secretion of gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, administration of testosterone decreases the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH). By inhibiting LH secretion, the growth of Leydig cells, which are normally stimulated by LH to produce testosterone, may be suppressed.
testosterone undecanoate
A potent synthetic analog of gonadotropin-releasing hormone with D-serine substitution at residue 6, glycine10 deletion, and other modifications.
A synthetic analog of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Buserelin binds to and activates pituitary gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) receptors. Prolonged administration of buserelin results in sustained inhibition of gonadotropin production, suppression of testicular and ovarian steroidogenesis, and reduced levels of circulating gonadotropin and gonadal steroids. Buserelin is more potent that GnRH.
buserelin
The acetate salt form of estradiol, the most potent, naturally produced estrogen. Estradiol acetate diffuses through the cell membrane and binds to and subsequently activates the nuclear estrogen receptor found in the reproductive tract, breast, pituitary, hypothalamus, liver, and bone.

A potent androgenic metabolite of testosterone. It is produced by the action of the enzyme 3-oxo-5-alpha-steroid 4-dehydrogenase.
The most potent androgen, required for sex development. Dihydrotestosterone is synthesized from testosterone in the prostate gland, testes, hair follicles and adrenal glands by 5-alpha reductase. Dihydrotestosterone exerts its action similar to testosterone, which binds to and activates specific nuclear androgen receptors. After translocation into the nucleus, the activated hormone-receptor complex binds to the androgen response elements on the DNA and activates gene expressions that are required for sex development. Dihydrotestosterone is responsible for the formation of male primary sex characteristics and most male secondary sex characteristics during puberty, such as muscular growth, facial and body hair growth, and deepening of the voice.

A class of drugs characterized as central nervous system (CNS) depressants. Barbiturate compounds bind to the gamma amino butyric acid (GABA)-A receptor, thereby increasing the influx of chloride ions into the neuron and subsequently causing hyperpolarization, which produces a decrease in neuronal transmission. Other barbiturate effects in the CNS may include modulation of sodium and calcium channels as well as inhibition of glutamate-mediated excitation. Although the effects of barbiturates are seen throughout the CNS, the predominant effect occurs in the midbrain region, the part of the brain associated with arousal. CNS depressive effects associated with this drug class include mild sedation, hypnosis, anesthesia, and coma as well as a decrease in seizure activity.

A tropane alkaloid obtained from leaves of the South American shrub Erythroxylon coca.
A tropane alkaloid with central nervous systems (CNS) stimulating and local anesthetic activity. Cocaine binds to the dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine transport proteins and inhibits the re-uptake of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine into pre-synaptic neurons. This leads to an accumulation of the respective neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft and may result in increased postsynaptic receptor activation. The mechanism of action through which cocaine exerts its local anesthetic effects is by binding to and blocking the voltage-gated sodium channels in the neuronal cell membrane. By stabilizing neuronal membranes, cocaine inhibits the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses and produces a reversible loss of sensation.
An alkaloid ester extracted from the leaves of plants including coca. It is a local anesthetic and vasoconstrictor and is clinically used for that purpose, particularly in the eye, ear, nose, and throat. It also has powerful central nervous system effects similar to the amphetamines and is a drug of abuse. Cocaine, like amphetamines, acts by multiple mechanisms on brain catecholaminergic neurons; the mechanism of its reinforcing effects is thought to involve inhibition of dopamine uptake.

A racemate comprising of equal amounts of (R)-bicalutamide and (S)-bicalutamide. It is an oral non-steroidal antiandrogen used in the treatment of prostate cancer and hirsutism.
A synthetic, nonsteroidal antiandrogen. Bicalutamide competitively binds to cytosolic androgen receptors in target tissues, thereby inhibiting the receptor binding of androgens. This agent does not bind to most mutated forms of androgen receptors.
bicalutamide
An orally active synthetic progestational hormone used often in combinations as an oral contraceptive.
The actetate salt form of chlormadinone, a synthetic progestin with antiandrogenic and antigonadotropic effects. Chlormadinone acetate (CMA) is a potent progesterone receptor (PR) agonist, a partial androgen receptor (AR) antagonist and a weak glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonist. Chlormadinone binds to PRs, which induces the expression of progesterone-responsive genes. In addition, chlormadinone blocks ARs in target organs and reduces the activity of skin 5 alpha-reductase; thus inhibiting androgen production and signaling. Through the negative feedback action on the hypothalamus-pituitary system, chlormadinone also suppresses gonadotropin secretion, which prevents ovarian and adrenal androgen production. Therefore, this agent decreases endometrial thickness, increases the viscosity of cervical mucus, inhibits ovulation and suppresses follicular growth and maturation.

The citrate salt form of sildenafil, an orally bioavailable pyrazolopyrimidinone derivative structurally related to zaprinast, with vasodilating and potential anti-inflammatory activities. Upon oral administration, sildenafil selectively targets and inhibits cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), thereby inhibiting the PDE5-mediated degradation of cGMP found in smooth muscle and increasing cGMP availability. This results in prolonged smooth muscle relaxation in the corpus cavernosum of the penis, thereby causing vasodilation, blood engorgement and a prolonged penile erection. In the smooth muscle of the pulmonary vasculature, the increase in cGMP results in smooth muscle relaxation, vasodilation of the pulmonary vascular bed, relieving pulmonary hypertension and increasing blood flow in the lungs. In addition, sildenafil may reduce airway inflammation and mucus production.

An orally bioavailable pyrazolopyrimidinone derivative structurally related to zaprinast, with vasodilating and potential anti-inflammatory activities. Upon oral administration, sildenafil selectively targets and inhibits cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), thereby inhibiting the PDE5-mediated degradation of cGMP found in smooth muscle and increasing cGMP availability. This results in prolonged smooth muscle relaxation in the corpus cavernosum of the penis, thereby causing vasodilation, blood engorgement and a prolonged penile erection. In the smooth muscle of the pulmonary vasculature, the increase in cGMP results in smooth muscle relaxation, vasodilation of the pulmonary vascular bed, relieving pulmonary hypertension and increasing blood flow in the lungs. In addition, sildenafil may reduce airway inflammation and mucus production.

Differentiating the physical disorders from mental disorders can be a difficult problem in both medicine and law, most notably because it delves into deep issues, and very old and unresolved arguments in philosophy and religion. Many materialists believe that all mental disorders are physical disorders of some kind, even if tests for them have not yet been developed (and it has been the case that some disorders once widely thought to be purely mental, are known to have physical origins, such as schizophrenia). Some recognized physical disorders produce significant behavioral changes. For example, fever, head trauma, and hyperthyroidism can produce delirium.

The developmental process pertaining to the initial formation of an anatomical structure from unspecified parts. This process begins with the specific processes that contribute to the appearance of the discrete structure and ends when the structural rudiment is recognizable. An anatomical structure is any biological entity that occupies space and is distinguished from its surroundings. Anatomical structures can be macroscopic such as a carpel, or microscopic such as an acrosome. Note that, for example, the formation of a pseudopod in an amoeba would not be considered formation involved in morphogenesis because it would not be thought of as the formation of an anatomical structure that was part of the shaping of the amoeba during its development. The formation of an axon from a neuron would be considered the formation of an anatomical structure involved in morphogenesis because it contributes to the creation of the form of the neuron in a developmental sense.

Mode of reproduction in which the zygotes develop in the female's oviducts, but find their nutrients from other tissues, whether skin or glandular tissue, oophagy, or adelphophagy (intra-uterine cannibalism in some sharks or in the black salamander Salamandra atra).
histotrophic viviparity
Mode of reproduction in which nutrients are provided by the female, often through a placenta, as in mammals (except for marsupials and monotremes). In the frog, Gastrotheca ovifera, embryos are fed by the mother through specialized gills. The lizard Pseudomoia pagenstecheri and most mammals use this form of viviparity.

Although the term "sex as a biological variable" (SABV) was likely introduced with little to no involvement from transphobic hate groups, it has been appropriated as a signaling term in the same manner as "biological sex". Regardless of this, SABV suffers from the same lack of conceptual framework as "biological sex", i.e. lack of consideration of reproducible criteria for defining the term.

The sex-determination system found in humans, most other mammals, some insects (Drosophila), some snakes, and some plants (Ginkgo). In this system, the sex of an individual is determined by a pair of sex chromosomes. Females typically have two of the same kind of sex chromosome (XX), and are called the homogametic sex. Males typically have two different kinds of sex chromosomes (XY), and are called the heterogametic sex.

androȝinem
Contemporarily, "androgyne" is used as a non-binary gender identity associated to variable extent with androgyny or androgynous expression. Androgynes may describe their gender as simultaneously masculine and feminine.
The origin of the term androgyne in English is multifaceted, being both a borrowing from the Latin androgynus and the French androgyne (itself derived from the Latin androgynus). The Latin form appears to have originated from the ancient Greek ᾰ̓νδρόγῠνος (andrógunos), a combination of the prefix ἀνήρ (anḗr, "man") and the suffix γυνή (gunḗ, "woman").
androgynes
A homosexual man, particularly if effeminate. Colloquially pronounced in three syllables, the accent on the first. Compare "morphodite".
In all probability the "botes" of the Montana Indians and the "burdachs" of the Washington tribes serve as masculine hetaræ to the chiefs and medicine men, though this has not been definitely determined. Dr. Holder described a typical "bote" of the Absaroke tribe in the New York Medical Journal, 1889. This androgyne, in many respects, resembled the mujerados of the Pueblo Indians, and probably served a like purpose in his tribe.

A vital record that documents the birth of a child. The term "birth certificate" can refer to either the original document certifying the circumstances of the birth or to a certified copy of or representation of the ensuing registration of that birth. Depending on the jurisdiction, a record of birth might or might not contain verification of the event by such as a midwife or doctor.
certificate of birth
Note that not all jurisdictions issue birth certificates. Sweden, for instance, no longer issues birth certificates. Instead, the Swedish Tax Agency will issue a Personbevis (Extract from the Population Register) for individuals born in Sweden. This takes the place of both birth and marriage certificates for international purposes. In England and Wales, "birth certificate" refers to a certified copy of an entry in the birth register, rather than a separate document.

Human immunodeficiency virus. A non-taxonomic and historical term referring to any of two species, specifically HIV-1 and/or HIV-2. Prior to 1986, this was called human T-lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (HTLV-III/LAV). From 1986-1990, it was an official species called HIV. Since 1991, HIV was no longer considered an official species name; the two species were designated HIV-1 and HIV-2.

A syndrome resulting from the acquired deficiency of cellular immunity caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It is characterized by the reduction of the Helper T-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and the lymph nodes. Symptoms include generalized lymphadenopathy, fever, weight loss, and chronic diarrhea. Patients with AIDS are especially susceptible to opportunistic infections (usually pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, tuberculosis, candida infections, and cryptococcosis), and the development of malignant neoplasms (usually non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Kaposi's sarcoma). The human immunodeficiency virus is transmitted through sexual contact, sharing of contaminated needles, or transfusion of contaminated blood.
An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.

Primary amenorrhea can be diagnosed in children by age 14 if no secondary sex characteristics, such as enlarged breasts and body hair, are present. In the absence of secondary sex characteristics, the most common cause of amenorrhea is low levels of FSH and LH caused by a delay in puberty. Gonadal dysgenesis, often associated with Turner's Syndrome, or premature ovarian failure may also be the cause. If secondary sex characteristics are present, but menstruation is not, primary amenorrhea can be diagnosed by age 16. A reason for this occurrence may be that a person phenotypically female but has a Y chromosome, a situation known as androgen insensitivity syndrome. If undescended testes are present, they are often removed after puberty (~21 years of age) due to the increased risk of testicular cancer. In the absence of undescended testes, an MRI can be used to determine whether or not a uterus is present. Müllerian agenesis causes around 15% of primary amenorrhea cases. If a uterus is present, outflow track obstruction may be the cause of primary amenorrhea.

Irish Free State
A sovereign state in western Europe from 1 May 1707 to 1 January 1801. The state came into being following the Treaty of Union in 1706, ratified by the Acts of Union 1707, which united the kingdoms of England (which included Wales) and Scotland to form a single kingdom encompassing the whole island of Great Britain and its outlying islands, with the exception of the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. The unitary state was governed by a single parliament and government that was based in Westminster.
Kingdom of Great Britain
Great Britain
A client state of England and then of Great Britain that existed from 1542 until 1800. It was ruled by the monarchs of England and then of Great Britain in personal union with their other realms. The kingdom was administered from Dublin Castle nominally by the King or Queen, who appointed a viceroy (the Lord Deputy, later Lord Lieutenant) to rule in their stead. It had its own legislature (the Parliament of Ireland), peerage (the Peerage of Ireland), legal system, and state church (the Protestant Church of Ireland).

Russian Republic
An independent state from 1917 to 1922, and afterwards the largest, most populous and most economically developed of the 15 Soviet socialist republics of the Soviet Union (USSR) from 1922 to 1990, then a sovereign part of the Soviet Union with priority of Russian laws over Union-level legislation in 1990 and 1991, during the last two years of the existence of the USSR. The Russian Republic comprised sixteen smaller constituent units of autonomous republics, five autonomous oblasts, ten autonomous okrugs, six krais and forty oblasts. Russians formed the largest ethnic group. The capital of the Russian SFSR was Moscow and the other major urban centers included Leningrad, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod and Samara.
Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic
Upon defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, the victorious Allies asserted joint authority and sovereignty over 'Germany as a whole', defined as all territories of the former German Reich west of the Oder–Neisse line, having declared the destruction of Nazi Germany at the death of Adolf Hitler. The four powers divided 'Germany as a whole' into four occupation zones for administrative purposes, under the United States, United Kingdom, France and the Soviet Union respectively; creating what became collectively known as Allied-occupied Germany.
Allied-occupied Germany
The common English name for Germany between 1933 and 1945, when Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party (NSDAP) controlled the country through a dictatorship. Under Hitler's rule, Germany was transformed into a totalitarian state where nearly all aspects of life were controlled by the government. The official name of the state was Deutsches Reich (German Reich) until 1943 and Großdeutsches Reich (Greater German Reich) from 1943 to 1945. Nazi Germany is also known as the Third Reich (Drittes Reich), meaning "Third Realm" or "Third Empire", the first two being the Holy Roman Empire (800–1806) and the German Empire (1871–1918). The Nazi regime ended after the Allies defeated Germany in May 1945, ending World War II in Europe.
Nazi Germany
An unofficial historical designation for the German state from 1918 to 1933. The name derives from the city of Weimar, where its constitutional assembly first took place. The official name of the republic remained Deutsches Reich (’German Reich’) unchanged from 1871, because of the German tradition of substates.
Weimar Republic
The German nation state that existed from the unification of Germany in 1871 until the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1918.
German Empire
The German federal state which existed from July 1867 to December 1870.

North German Confederation
A Central European multinational great power from 1804 to 1867, created by proclamation out of the realms of the Habsburgs.

In particular, a sequential hermaphrodite produces eggs (female gametes) and sperm (male gametes) at different stages in life. Species that can undergo these changes from one sex to another do so as a normal event within their reproductive cycle that is usually cued by either social structure or the achievement of a certain age or size.

47,XXY syndrome
A genetic condition characterized by a sex chromosome aneuploidy, where males have two extra X chromosomes. Males typically have only two sex chromosomes, an X and a Y. The presence of one Y chromosome with a functioning SRY gene causes the expression of genes that determine maleness. Because of this, XXXY syndrome only affects males. The additional two X chromosomes in males with XXXY syndrome causes them to have 48 chromosomes, instead of the typical 46. XXXY syndrome is therefore often referred to as 48,XXXY. There is a wide variety of symptoms associated with this syndrome, including cognitive and behavioral problems, taurodontism, and infertility. This syndrome is usually inherited via a new mutation in one of the parents’ gametes, as those affected by it are usually infertile. It is estimated that XXXY affects one in every 50,000 male births.

A sex chromosome anomaly in which males have an extra X and Y chromosome. Human cells usually contain two sex chromosomes, one from the mother and one from the father. Usually, females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The appearance of at least one Y chromosome with a properly functioning SRY gene makes a male. Therefore, humans with XXYY are genotypically male. Males with XXYY syndrome have 48 chromosomes instead of the typical 46. It affects an estimated one in every 18,000–40,000 male births.

dysgenesis
Gonadal dysgenesis with non-mosaic karyotypes, such as 46,XX or 46,XY.
pure gonadal dysgenesis
PGD
Gonadal dysgenesis with a karyotype of 46,XX. Streak ovaries are present with non-functional tissues unable to produce the required sex steroid estrogen. Low levels of oestrogen effect the HPG axis with no feedback to the anterior pituitary to inhibit the secretion of FSH and LH. FSH and LH are secreted at abnormal elevated levels. Improper levels of these hormones will cause a failure to initiate puberty, undergo menarche, and develop secondary sex characteristics. If sufficient functional ovarian tissue is present, limited menstrual cycles can occur.

ovarian dysgenesis
A type of hypogonadism in a person whose karyotype is 46,XY. People with Swyer syndrome are born with the appearance of a normal female in most anatomic respects except that the child has nonfunctional streak gonads instead of ovaries or testes. As their ovaries produce no important body changes before puberty, a defect of the reproductive system typically remains unsuspected until puberty fails to occur. They appear to be normal women and are generally considered so.

Avoid terms which include "sex change" as they are inaccurate (referring to "sex" rather than "gender" and implying a "change" rather than an affirmation of an already present gender identity).
Avoid terms which include the word "reassignment" as no reassignment is taking place (assigned sex at birth is still assigned and such procedures are in no way tied to legal reassignment) and it implies that one's gender identity is tied solely to the surgery, rather than an internal representation of self.
Use terms like "gender confirmation surgery", "gender-affirming surgery", or "gender-validating surgery" when discussing such procedures, but outside of a clinical context, allow the person to guide discussion about these processes (i.e. it is inappropriate to ask a transgender person if they've "had the surgery" or the like).

A grouping of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into categories generally viewed as distinct by society. The term was first used to refer to speakers of a common language and then to denote national affiliations. By the 17th century the term began to refer to physical (phenotypical) traits. Modern scholarship regards race as a social construct, an identity which is assigned based on rules made by society. While partially based on physical similarities within groups, race does not have an inherent physical or biological meaning.
Race is a characteristic of an individual defined by some culturally-defined combination of heritable phenotypic characteristics, geographic ancestry, physical appearance, ethnicity, and social status.

Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is not uncommon, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion. If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping.

Lamarckian inheritance
inheritance of acquired characteristics
soft inheritance
Lamarckism is inaccurately named after the French biologist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744–1829), who incorporated the action of soft inheritance into his evolutionary theories as a supplement to his concept of orthogenesis, a drive towards complexity. The theory is cited in textbooks to contrast with Darwinism. This paints a false picture of the history of biology, as Lamarck did not originate the idea of soft inheritance, which was known from the classical era onwards, and it was not the primary focus of Lamarck's theory of evolution. Further, in On the Origin of Species (1859), Charles Darwin supported the idea of "use and disuse inheritance", though rejecting other aspects of Lamarck's theory; and his pangenesis theory implied soft inheritance.
Lamarckism
A widely influential concept at the interface of the social and biological sciences in the 19th century which theorized that civilization might be in decline and that the causes of decline lay in biological change. These ideas derived from pre-scientific concepts of heredity ("hereditary taint") with Lamarckian emphasis on biological development through purpose and habit. Degeneration concepts were often associated with authoritarian political attitudes, including militarism and racist science, as well as with fears of national decline.

ambivalent sexism
Hostile sexism reflects overtly negative evaluations and stereotypes about a gender (e.g., the ideas that women are incompetent and inferior to men).

Benevolent sexism represents evaluations of gender that may appear subjectively positive (subjective to the person who is evaluating), but are actually damaging to people and gender equality more broadly (e.g., the ideas that women need to be protected by men).
benevolent sexism

Commonly used lubricants include saliva, oil (such as baby oil, olive oil, canola oil, or mineral oil) or commercially available lubricants that are either water-based or hydroxyethylcellulose-based.

Lubricants that are safe for anal sex, especially products that are specifically marketed or designed to enhance enjoyment of anal sex. Often, they are simply a thicker gel rather than a liquid. This thicker consistency is preferable because it helps the lubricant stay in place. Some anal lubricants contain numbing agents to relieve discomfort during anal sex, although it is generally inadvisable as a lack of sensation makes accidental injury more likely.

altered state of mind
The term "altered state of consciousness" (ASC) as an expression has been used in many different circumstances, both scientific and pseudoscientific. By 1892, the expression was in use in relation to hypnosis although an ongoing debate about hypnosis as an ASC based on modern definition exists. The next retrievable instance, by Dr. Max Mailhouse from his 1904 presentation to conference, however, is unequivocally identified as such, as it was in relation to epilepsy, and is still used today. In academia, the expression was used as early as 1966 by Arnold M. Ludwig and brought into common usage from 1969 by Charles Tart. It describes induced changes in one's mental state, almost always temporary.

There are competing theories explaining hypnosis and related phenomena.

Broadly, a cook; however, more commonly used to refer to the head cook of a restaurant or other establishment.
When used in reference to a cook with no sous-chefs or other workers beneath him, the term connotes a certain degree of prestige—whether culinary education or ability—distinguishing the chef from a “cook”. As a borrowing, chef was originally italicized, but such treatment is now obsolete. Within a catering establishment, the head cook (and no-one else) will normally be addressed simply as "chef" as a term of respect.

A surgery for transgender men and transmasculine individuals in which the urethral plate and urethra are completely dissected from the clitoral corporeal bodies, then divided at the distal end, and the testosterone-enlarged clitoris is straightened out and elongated. A longitudinal vascularized island flap is configured and harvested from the dorsal skin of the clitoris, reversed to the ventral side, tubularized and an anastomosis is formed with the native urethra. The new urethral meatus is placed along the neophallus to the distal end and the skin of the neophallus and scrotum reconstructed using labia minora and majora flaps. The new neophallus ranges in size from 4-10 cm (with an average of 5.7 cm) and has the approximate girth of a human adult thumb.

An four-carbon ester form of Testosterone. The number of ester carbon atoms correlate with the half-life of the prodrug. Testosterone inhibits gonadotropin secretion from the pituitary gland and ablates estrogen production in the ovaries, thereby decreasing endogenous estrogen levels. In addition, this agent promotes the maintenance of male sex characteristics and is indicated for testosterone replacement in hypogonadal males.

A synthetic long-acting polymer derivative of the sex hormone estradiol. As the primary, most potent estrogen hormone produced by the ovaries, estradiol binds to and activates specific nuclear receptors. Estradiol exhibits mild anabolic and metabolic properties, and increases blood coagulability. Administration of polyestradiol phosphate leads to the marked decrease of testosterone levels and may exhibit a bone mass-preserving effect in patients with prostatic cancer.
An estrogen medication which is used primarily in the treatment of prostate cancer in men. It is also used in women to treat breast cancer, as a component of hormone therapy to treat low estrogen levels and menopausal symptoms, and as a component of feminizing hormone therapy for transgender women.
polyestradiol phosphate
Any synthetic or animal-derived agent that is chemically identical or similar to an endogenous hormone with therapeutic application.
therapeutic hormone

A synthetic analogue of the endogenous hormone gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, GnRH analogue mimics endogenous GnRH and strongly binds to and activates pituitary GnRH receptors, which stimulates the synthesis and secretion of the gonadotropic hormones, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Continuous, prolonged activation by the GnRH analogue results in pituitary GnRH receptor desensitization and receptor downregulation. This causes inhibition of pituitary gonadotropin secretion of LH and FSH. In cisgender men, the inhibition of LH secretion prevents the production and release of testosterone from Leydig cells in the testes and causes a significant decline in testosterone production that is near the levels seen after castration. This may inhibit androgen receptor-positive tumor progression. In females, this results in a decrease in estradiol production. GnRH, also called luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH), is normally synthesized in and secreted by the hypothalamus. Synthetic analogues of GnRH have a stronger receptor binding affinity than the endogenous form.

A movement against sexual harassment and sexual assault. The phrase "Me Too" was initially used in this context on social media in 2006, on Myspace, by sexual harassment survivor and activist Tarana Burke. Similar to other social justice and empowerment movements based upon breaking silence, the purpose of "Me Too", as initially voiced by Burke as well as those who later adopted the tactic, is to empower women through empathy and strength in numbers, especially young and vulnerable women, by visibly demonstrating how many women have survived sexual assault and harassment, especially in the workplace.

Any drug that incapacitates another person and renders them vulnerable to a sexual assault, including rape. The substances are associated with date rape because of reported incidents of their use in the context of two people dating, during which the victim is sexually assaulted or raped, or suffers other indignities. The substances are not exclusively used to perpetrate sexual assault or rape, but are the properties or side-effects of substances normally used for legitimate medical purposes. One of the most common incapacitating agents for date rape is alcohol, administered either surreptitiously or consumed voluntarily, rendering the victim unable to make informed decisions or give consent.

eye contact
A medium of human communication that represents language with signs and symbols. For languages that utilize a writing system, inscriptions can complement spoken language by creating a durable version of speech that can be stored for future reference or transmitted across distance. Writing, in other words, is not a language, but a tool used to make languages readable. Within a language system, writing relies on many of the same structures as speech, such as vocabulary, grammar, and semantics, with the added dependency of a system of signs or symbols.

Inclusive writing is writing which utilizes "people-first language", or language that makes personhood the essential characteristic of any described person, and self-identification, i.e. striving to include language which is self-conscious and respects peoples' choices in relation to their identities. At its core inclusive writing should not avoid stereotypes and other prejudices, while emphasizing the language preferred by that person, people, community, or group.
As an example, using "people of color" instead of "minorities" or "transgender person" instead of "transgendered".
It is important than inclusive writing should not be erasing of historical mistreatment.
inclusive writing
Generally, practices which encourage and normalize non-sexist language and gender expansiveness (such as providing pronouns in resumes, websites, etc.; providing places to add preferred names; avoiding language which excludes other genders; etc.).
Some examples would be using "firefighter" instead of "fireman", "flight attendant" instead of "stewardess", or "congressperson" instead of "congressman".

In vitro fertilization technique that uses mitochondrial DNA from a healthy donor in order to prevent the transmission of mitochondrial disease.
The replacement of mitochondria in one or more cells to prevent or ameliorate disease. MRT originated as a special form of in vitro fertilisation in which some or all of the future baby's mitochondrial DNA comes from a third party. This technique is used in cases when mothers carry genes for mitochondrial diseases. The therapy is approved for use in the United Kingdom. A second application is to use autologous mitochondria to replace mitochondria in damaged tissue to restore the tissue to a functional state. This has been used in clinical research in the United States to treat cardiac-compromised newborns.

A malformation of the nervous system caused by failure of the anterior neuropore to close. Infants are born with intact spinal cords, cerebellums, and brainstems, but lack formation of neural structures above this level. The skull is only partially formed but the eyes are usually normal. This condition may be associated with folate deficiency. Affected infants are only capable of primitive (brain stem) reflexes and usually do not survive for more than two weeks.

congenital hydrocephalus
A congenital abnormality in which the cerebrum is underdeveloped, the fontanels close prematurely, and, as a result, the head is small.
Head circumference below 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender. Head circumference is measured from just above the glabella (the most prominent point on the frontal bone above the root of the nose) to the most posterior prominent point of the occipital bone using a tape measure. Some standard charts are organized by centiles, others by standard deviations. It is important to add an indication of how far below the normal standard the head circumference is if an accurate assessment of this can be made. Microcephaly is an absolute term. The term relative microcephaly can be used when the head size centile is less than the centile for height, for example, head size at the 3rd centile with height at the 75% for age and sex. On prenatal ultrasound, microcephaly is diagnosed if the head circumference or the biparietal diameter is more than three standard deviations below the mean.
microcephaly
A congenital neural tube defect in which vertebrae are not fully formed. It results in the protrusion of the spinal cord through the opening of the vertebrae.
Incomplete closure of the embryonic neural tube, whereby some vertebral arches remain unfused and open. The mildest form is spina bifida occulta, followed by meningocele and meningomyelocele.

A broad concept denoting the idea that societies and countries have differing levels of "development" on an international scale. It is the basis for international classifications such as developed country, developing country and least developed country, and for a field of practice and research that in various ways engages with international development processes. There are, however, many schools of thought and conventions regarding which are the exact features constituting the "development" of a country.
global development
Historically, development has often been largely synonymous with economic development. More recently, writers and practitioners have begun to discuss development in the more holistic and multi-disciplinary sense of human development. Other related concepts are, for instance, competitiveness, quality of life or subjective well-being.

The Gender and Development (GAD) approach focuses on the socially constructed differences between men and women, the need to challenge existing gender roles and relations, and the creation and effects of class differences on development.
gender and development
An approach of development projects that emerged in the 1960s, calling for treatment of women's issues in development projects. It is the integration of women into the global economies by improving their status and assisting in total development. Later, the Gender and development (GAD) approach proposed more emphasis on gender relations rather than seeing women's issues in isolation.

This condition is most often associated with spinal cord diseases, although brain diseases; peripheral nervous system diseases; neuromuscular diseases; and muscular diseases may also cause bilateral leg weakness.
paraplegic
paraplegia
Severe or complete loss of motor function in all four limbs which may result from brain diseases; spinal cord diseases; peripheral nervous system diseases; neuromuscular diseases; or rarely muscular diseases. The locked-in syndrome is characterized by quadriplegia in combination with cranial muscle paralysis. Consciousness is spared and the only retained voluntary motor activity may be limited eye movements. This condition is usually caused by a lesion in the upper brain stem which injures the descending cortico-spinal and cortico-bulbar tracts.
quadriplegic
tetraplegia
quadriplegia
A decreased magnitude of the sensory perception of sound. Hearing loss can be categorized by which part of the auditory system is damaged, as conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, and mixed hearing loss. Another axis of classification uses the degree of hearing impairment. The degree of hearing loss is computed by using a three frequency average taken at 500 Hz, 1,000 Hz and 2,000 Hz. The average of these three frequencies is called the Pure Tone Average (PTA). 0-20 dB is considered normal, 21-40 dB mild loss, 41-60 dB moderate loss, 61-70 dB moderately severe loss,71-90 dB severe loss, and greater than 90 dB profound loss. Note that the word deafness is occasionally used to describe partial hearing loss. The World Health Organization uses the word deafness to refer to complete loss of the ability to hear, and hearing impairment to refer to any degree of reduced hearing.

A Khmer term for a culturally specific gender identity considered intermediate between pros (ប្រុស, male) and srey (ស្រី, female).
The broad category of kteuy covers two distinct sub-groupings, "short hairs" and "long hairs". Short hairs (សក់​ខ្លី, sak klay) are men who dress and identify as men but have sex with "real" men; they are usually married, and very few of them have sex exclusively with men. Long hairs (សក់​វែង, sak veng, also called ស្រីស្រស់, srey sros, "charming girls"), identify and behave as women, and may use hormones and surgery to feminize their appearance. They call themselves kteuy, but may feel insulted if outsiders use this term.

One of five gender categories observed in Bugis culture. A bissu must be intersex or transgender in nature, having an externally male appearance and an internal female spirit (this may be represented by ambiguous genitalia, but this is not always necessarily the case). The combination of maleness and femaleness enable a "meta-gender" identity to emerge. Finally, the potential bissu must learn the language, songs, and incantations, and have a talent for bestowing blessings to be given the title of bissu. Bissu remain celibate throughout their lives and wear relatively conservative clothing.
"Bissu" has been mistranslated as "transvestite priest" in the past. This is inaccurate and derogatory.
In pre-Islamic Bugis culture, bissu were seen as intermediaries between the people and the gods. Up until the 1940s, the bissu were still central to keeping ancient palace rituals alive.

A person who helps students to acquire knowledge, competence or virtue.
Informally the role of teacher may be taken on by anyone (e.g. when showing a colleague how to perform a specific task). In some countries, teaching young people of school age may be carried out in an informal setting, such as within the family (homeschooling), rather than in a formal setting such as a school or college. Some other professions may involve a significant amount of teaching (e.g. youth worker, pastor). In most countries, formal teaching of students is usually carried out by paid professional teachers. This article focuses on those who are employed, as their main role, to teach others in a formal education context, such as at a school or other place of initial formal education or training.

A type of health care that focuses on the palliation of a terminally ill patient's pain and symptoms and attending to their emotional and spiritual needs at the end of life.

The concept also includes bereavement care for the family.

Much debate in epistemology centers on four areas: (1) the philosophical analysis of the nature of knowledge and how it relates to such concepts as truth, belief, and justification, (2) various problems of skepticism, (3) the sources and scope of knowledge and justified belief, and (4) the criteria for knowledge and justification.

A tool which was traditionally designed to strike animals or people to aid guidance or exert control over animals or other people, through pain compliance or fear of pain, although in some activities, whips can be used without use of pain, such as an additional pressure aid or visual directional cue in equestrianism. The majority of whips are designed for use on animals, although whips such as the "cat o' nine tails" and knout were specifically developed for flagellation as a means of inflicting corporal punishment or torture on human targets. Certain religious practices and BDSM activities involve the self-use of whips or the use of whips between consenting partners. Misuse on animals may be considered animal cruelty, and misuse on humans may be viewed as assault.

A place that is generally open and accessible to people. Roads (including the pavement), public squares, parks and beaches are typically considered public space. To a limited extent, government buildings which are open to the public, such as public libraries are public spaces, although they tend to have restricted areas and greater limits upon use. Although not considered public space, privately owned buildings or property visible from sidewalks and public thoroughfares may affect the public visual landscape, for example, by outdoor advertising.

An informal grouping of Protestant denominations that contrast in history and practice with evangelical, fundamentalist, and charismatic Protestant denominations. Mainline Protestants were a majority of Protestants in the United States until the mid-20th century. A dip in membership across all Christian denominations was more pronounced among mainline groups, with the result that mainline groups no longer comprise the majority.

Mainline Protestantism
Traditions of Protestantism which developed in the 19th century out of a need to adapt Christianity to a modern intellectual context. With the acceptance of Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, some traditional Christian beliefs, such as parts of the Genesis creation narrative, became difficult to defend. Unable to ground faith exclusively in an appeal to scripture or the person of Jesus Christ, liberals, according to theologian and intellectual historian Alister McGrath, "sought to anchor that faith in common human experience, and interpret it in ways that made sense within the modern worldview." Beginning in Germany, liberal theology was influenced by several strands of thought, including the Enlightenment's high view of human reason and Pietism's emphasis on religious experience and interdenominational tolerance.

A millenarian restorationist Christian denomination with nontrinitarian beliefs distinct from mainstream Christianity. The group reports a worldwide membership of approximately 8.68 million adherents involved in evangelism and an annual Memorial attendance of over 20 million.

Jewish impersonation
A vaudeville act that became popular among Eastern European Jews who immigrated to the United States in the 1880s. The name plays off of the term "Blackface," and the act featured performers enacting Jewish stereotypes, wearing large putty noses, long beards, and tattered clothing, and speaking with thick Yiddish accent. Early portrayals were done by non-Jews, but Jews soon began to produce their own "Jewface" acts. By the early 20th century, almost all the "Jewface" actors, managers, agents, and audience members were Jewish. "Jewface" featured Jewish dialect music, written by Tin Pan Alley songwriters. These vaudeville acts were controversial at the time. In 1909 a prominent Reform rabbi said that comedy like this was "the cause of greater prejudice against the Jews as a class than all other causes combined," and that same year the Central Conference of American Rabbis denounced this type of comedy.

Sexual intercourse in which some anatomical structure is inserted into the urethra.
coitus per urethram
The untrained insertion of foreign bodies into the urethra carries a significant risk that subsequent medical attention may be required. The stretching of the urethra required by this form of intercourse has also reportedly resulted in a complete and permanent loss of urethral sphincter control (urinary incontinence); furthermore such intercourse presents a very high risk of bladder infection to the receptive partner. It can also lead to permanent dilation of the urethra and incontinence during intercourse. Presenting symptoms of unintentional urethral intercourse include primary infertility, dyspareunia (pain during intercourse), and incontinence. More serious consequences include evisceration via the urethra and bladder rupture.

postcolonialism
At times, the term postcolonial studies may be preferred to postcolonialism, as the ambiguous term colonialism could refer either to a system of government, or to an ideology or world view underlying that system. However, postcolonialism (i.e., postcolonial studies) generally represents an ideological response to colonialist thought, rather than simply describing a system that comes after colonialism, as the prefix post- may suggest. As such, postcolonialism may be thought of as a reaction to or departure from colonialism in the same way postmodernism is a reaction to modernism; the term postcolonialism itself is modeled on postmodernism, with which it shares certain concepts and methods.
postcolonial theory
The analysis of texts which aims to uncover or surmise colonialist and anticolonialist ideologies present in those texts.
postcolonial criticism

The literature by people from formerly colonized countries. It exists on all continents except Antarctica. Postcolonial literature often addresses the problems and consequences of the decolonization of a country, especially questions relating to the political and cultural independence of formerly subjugated people, and themes such as racialism and colonialism. A range of literary theory has evolved around the subject. It addresses the role of literature in perpetuating and challenging what postcolonial critic Edward Said refers to as cultural imperialism.

The appearance of objects (or light sources) described in terms of a person's perception of their hue and lightness (or brightness) and saturation.
The visually perceived property of objects created by absorption or reflection of specific wavelengths of light.
colors
Any of a variety of colors with hue between red and blue. Purple is closely associated with violet. In optics, purple and violet refer to colors that look similar, but purples are mixtures of red light and blue or violet light, whereas violets are spectral colors (of single wavelengths of light). In common usage, both refer to colors that are between red and blue in hue, with purples closer to red and violets closer to blue.[5][6] Similarly, in the traditional painters' color wheel, purple and violet are both placed between red and blue, with purple closer to red.
purple
purples
The hue of that portion of the visible spectrum lying between orange and green, evoked in the human observer by radiant energy with wavelengths of approximately 570 to 590 nanometers; any of a group of colors of a hue resembling that of ripe lemons and varying in lightness and saturation.
yellow
yellows
A composite color. In the CMYK color model used in printing or painting, brown is made by combining red, black, and yellow, or red, yellow, and blue. In the RGB color model used to project colors onto television screens and computer monitors, brown is made by combining red and green, in specific proportions. In painting, brown is generally made by adding black to orange.
Any of a group of colors between red and yellow in hue that are medium to low in lightness and low to moderate in saturation.
The brown color is seen widely in nature, in wood, soil, human hair color, eye color and skin pigmentation. Brown is the color of dark wood or rich soil. According to public opinion surveys in Europe and the United States, brown is the least favorite color of the public; it is most often associated with plainness, the rustic, and poverty.
brown
browns
A shade of the standard (h = 240°) blue.
dark blue
Variations of this color are known as sky blue, baby blue, or angel blue. Within the X11 color system, with a hue code of 194, this color is closer to cyan than to blue. The first recorded use of "light blue" as a color term in English is in the year 1915.

The hue of that portion of the visible spectrum lying between yellow and blue, evoked in the human observer by radiant energy with wavelengths of approximately 490 to 570 nanometers; any of a group of colors that may vary in lightness and saturation and whose hue is that of the emerald or somewhat less yellow than that of growing grass.
During post-classical and early modern Europe, green was the color commonly associated with wealth, merchants, bankers and the gentry, while red was reserved for the nobility. For this reason, the costume of the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci and the benches in the British House of Commons are green while those in the House of Lords are red. It also has a long historical tradition as the color of Ireland and of Gaelic culture. It is the historic color of Islam, representing the lush vegetation of Paradise. It was the color of the banner of Muhammad, and is found in the flags of nearly all Islamic countries.
In surveys made in American, European, and Islamic countries, green is the color most commonly associated with nature, life, health, youth, spring, hope, and envy. In the European Union and the United States, green is also sometimes associated with toxicity and poor health, but in China and most of Asia, its associations are very positive, as the symbol of fertility and happiness. Because of its association with nature, it is the color of the environmental movement. Political groups advocating environmental protection and social justice describe themselves as part of the Green movement, some naming themselves Green parties. This has led to similar campaigns in advertising, as companies have sold green, or environmentally friendly, products. Green is also the traditional color of safety and permission; a green light means go ahead, a green card permits permanent residence in the United States.
green
A dark brownish red or dark reddish purple color that takes its name from the French word marron, or chestnut.
maroon
The hue of that portion of the visible spectrum lying between red and yellow, evoked in the human observer by radiant energy with wavelengths of approximately 590 to 630 nanometers; any of a group of colors between red and yellow in hue, of medium lightness and moderate saturation.
In Europe and America, surveys show that orange is the colour most associated with amusement, the unconventional, extroverts, warmth, fire, energy, activity, danger, taste and aroma, the autumn and Allhallowtide seasons, as well as having long been the national color of the Netherlands and the House of Orange. It also serves as the political colour of Christian democracy political ideology and most Christian democratic political parties. In Asia it is an important symbolic colour of Buddhism and Hinduism.
orange
oranges
The hue of the long-wave end of the visible spectrum, evoked in the human observer by radiant energy with wavelengths of approximately 630 to 750 nanometers; any of a group of colors that may vary in lightness and saturation and whose hue resembles that of blood.
Red pigment made from ochre was one of the first colors used in prehistoric art. The Ancient Egyptians and Mayans colored their faces red in ceremonies; Roman generals had their bodies colored red to celebrate victories. It was also an important color in China, where it was used to color early pottery and later the gates and walls of palaces. In the Renaissance, the brilliant red costumes for the nobility and wealthy were dyed with kermes and cochineal. The 19th century brought the introduction of the first synthetic red dyes, which replaced the traditional dyes. Red also became the color of revolution; Soviet Russia adopted a red flag following the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, later followed by China, Vietnam, and other communist countries.
Since red is the color of blood, it has historically been associated with sacrifice, danger, and courage. Modern surveys in Europe and the United States show red is also the color most commonly associated with heat, activity, passion, sexuality, anger, love, and joy. In China, India and many other Asian countries it is the color of symbolizing happiness and good fortune.

It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, a style which drew heavily from the genres of blues, rhythm and blues, and from country music. Rock music also drew strongly from a number of other genres such as electric blues and folk, and incorporated influences from jazz, classical, and other musical styles.
rock music
A category of rock music that emerged from the independent music underground of the 1970s and became widely popular in the 1990s. "Alternative" refers to the genre's distinction from mainstream or commercial rock or pop music. The term's original meaning was broader, referring to a generation of musicians unified by their collective debt to either the musical style or simply the independent, DIY ethos of punk rock, which in the late 1970s laid the groundwork for alternative music.

Classical music
A period or style of Western art music composed from approximately 1600 to 1750. This era followed the Renaissance music era, and was followed in turn by the Classical era, with the galant style marking the transition between Baroque and Classical eras. The Baroque period is divided into three major phases: early, middle, and late. Overlapping in time, they are conventionally dated from 1580 to 1650, from 1630 to 1700, and from 1680 to 1750.

Generally, music from the Medieval era and the Renaissance era.
early music
Vocal and instrumental music written and performed in Europe during the Medieval era. This era begins in the fifth century with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the resultant loss of much of the literary and artistic heritage of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. It ends sometime in the early fifteenth century, although establishing the end of the medieval era and the beginning of the Renaissance music era is difficult, since the trends started at different times in different regions.
Medieval music
Vocal and instrumental music written and performed in Europe during the Renaissance era. Consensus among music historians has been to start the era around 1400, with the end of the medieval era, and to close it around 1600, with the beginning of the Baroque period, therefore commencing the musical Renaissance about a hundred years after the beginning of the Renaissance as it is understood in other disciplines.

variety shows
A kind of variety show derived from elements of Victorian burlesque, music hall and minstrel shows. Burlesque shows in America became popular in the late 1860s and slowly evolved to feature ribald comedy and female nudity. By the early 1930s the striptease element of burlesque overshadowed the comedy and subjected burlesque to extensive local legislation. Burlesque gradually lost popularity beginning in the 1940s. A number of producers sought to capitalize on nostalgia for the entertainment by attempting to recreate the spirit of burlesque in Hollywood films from the 1930s to the 1960s. There has been a resurgence of interest in this format since the 1990s.

Boylesque within the neo-burlesque scene can be traced back to the early 1980s with performers like John Sex.

A style of Japanese young adult novel primarily targeting high school and middle school students. The term "light novel" is a wasei-eigo, or a Japanese term formed from words in the English language. Light novels are often called ranobe (ラノベ) or, in English, LN. The average length of a light novel is about 50,000 words, close to the minimum expected for a Western novel, and light novels are usually published in bunkobon size (A6, 10.5 cm × 14.8 cm), often with dense publishing schedules. A distinguishing characteristic of light novels is that they are illustrated with a manga art style and are often adapted into manga and anime. They are mainly published in separate book volumes, while some of them have their chapters serialized in anthology magazines before being collected in book form, similar to how manga is published.

An interactive fiction video game genre, which originated in Japan, featuring text-based story with narrative style of literature and interactivity aided by static or sprite-based visuals, most often using anime-style art or occasionally live-action stills (and sometimes video footage). As the name might suggest, they resemble mixed-media novels. In Japanese terminology, a distinction is often made between visual novels (abbreviated NVL, derived from "novel"), which consist predominantly of narration and have very few interactive elements, and adventure games (abbreviated AVG, or ADV derived from "adventure"), which may incorporate problem-solving and other types of gameplay. This distinction is normally lost outside Japan, where both NVLs and ADVs are commonly referred to as "visual novels" by international fans.

The psychological phenomenon in which a body can display multiple distinct personas. This phenomenon can feature in identity disturbance, dissociative identity disorder, and other specified dissociative disorders, among other things. Some individuals describe their experience of multiplicity as a form of neurodiversity, rather than something that demands a diagnosis. In a body that contains multiple personas, a "system" may associate behavior with each persona and switch among them. Somebody who experiences multiplicity is described as a "multiple," while a person who does not experience is described as a "singlet".

One or more motions or positions of the muscles beneath the skin of the face. Facial expressions are a form of nonverbal communication. They are a primary means of conveying social information between humans, but they also occur in most other mammals and some other animal species. Humans can adopt a facial expression voluntarily or involuntarily, and the neural mechanisms responsible for controlling the expression differ in each case. Voluntary facial expressions are often socially conditioned and follow a cortical route in the brain. Conversely, involuntary facial expressions are believed to be innate and follow a subcortical route in the brain.

The size of a human penis, based on any of various measures, including length and circumference when flaccid and erect. Besides the natural variability of human penises in general, there are factors that lead to minor variations in a particular male, such as the level of arousal, time of day, room temperature, and frequency of sexual activity. Compared to other primates, including large examples such as the gorilla, the human penis is thickest, both in absolute terms and relative to the rest of the body.

Labor and sometimes delivery that occurs in water, usually a birthing pool. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists does not recommend birthing in water as the safety has not been determined. Proponents believe childbirth in water results in a more relaxed, less painful experience that promotes a midwife-led model of care. Critics argue that the safety of waterbirth has not been scientifically proven and that a wide range of adverse neonatal outcomes have been documented, including increased mother or child infections and the possibility of infant drowning.

water births
A birth that takes place in a residence rather than in a hospital or a birthing center. They may be attended by a midwife, or lay attendant with experience in managing home births. Home birth was, until the advent of modern medicine, the de facto method of delivery. The term was coined in the middle of the 19th century as births began to take place in hospitals. Since the beginning of the 20th century, home birth rates have fallen in most developed countries, generally to less than 1% of all births.
childbirth at home
home childbirth
Women with access to high-quality medical care may choose home birth because they prefer the intimacy of a home and family-centered experience, to avoid risks related to in-hospital births, or desire to avoid a medically centered experience typical of a hospital, among other reasons. Professionals attending home births can be obstetricians, certified or uncertified midwives, and doulas. In developing countries, where women may not be able to afford medical care or it may not be accessible to them, a home birth may be the only option available, and the woman may or may not be assisted by a professional attendant of any kind.
home birth
home births
A legal cause of action in some common law countries in which the parents of a congenitally diseased child claim that their doctor failed to properly warn of their risk of conceiving or giving birth to a child with serious genetic or congenital abnormalities. Thus, the plaintiffs claim, the defendant prevented them from making a truly informed decision as to whether or not to have the child. Wrongful birth is a type of medical malpractice tort. It is distinguished from wrongful life, in which the child sues the doctor.
wrongful birth
wrongful births
The expulsion of a nonviable fetus through the vaginal opening of the decomposing body of a deceased pregnant woman as a result of the increasing pressure of intra-abdominal gases. This kind of postmortem delivery occurs very rarely during the decomposition of a body. The practice of chemical preservation, whereby chemical preservatives and disinfectant solutions are pumped into a body to replace natural body fluids (and the bacteria that reside therein), have made the occurrence of "coffin birth" so rare that the topic is rarely mentioned in medical discourse.
postmortem fetal extrusion
coffin birth
coffin births
The birth of an infant in places or situations other than what was planned. In most cases the location of childbirth is planned ahead of time and may be at home, a hospital, a medical facility or a birthing center. In other situations, the birth occurs on the way to these facilities. Oftentimes, no trained medical personnel are present, other times there may be police or other first responders. Emergency measures for delivery are indicated when childbirth is imminent.

The ancestral ethnic religion of the city of Rome that the Romans used to define themselves as a people, as well as the religious practices of peoples brought under Roman rule, in so far as they became widely followed in Rome and Italy. The Romans thought of themselves as highly religious, and attributed their success as a world power to their collective piety (pietas) in maintaining good relations with the gods. The Romans are known for the great number of deities they honored, a capacity that earned the mockery of early Christian polemicists.

The branch of psychology that studies unusual patterns of behavior, emotion and thought, which may or may not be understood as precipitating a mental disorder. Although many behaviors could be considered as abnormal, this branch of psychology typically deals with behavior in a clinical context. There is a long history of attempts to understand and control behavior deemed to be aberrant or deviant (statistically, functionally, morally or in some other sense), and there is often cultural variation in the approach taken. The field of abnormal psychology identifies multiple causes for different conditions, employing diverse theories from the general field of psychology and elsewhere, and much still hinges on what exactly is meant by "abnormal".

medical terms
A term which was considered to be medical at some point, but is no longer used in medicine at all.
outdated medical term
A term is considered obsoleted if its usage no longer appears in mainstream medical terminologies (like the DSM or the ICD), especially if it has been replaced by newer terminology. Note that it is possible that an obsoleted term in medicine has not been obsoleted in general use or even in medical use. For instance, the term "transsexualism" may still be used by medical providers, but it is no longer part of current medical vocabularies (as of ICD-11) and is therefore considered obsoleted.

An early-modern African state located in what is now Angola. The Kingdom of Ndongo is first recorded in the sixteenth century. It was one of multiple vassal states to Kongo, though Ndongo was the most powerful of these with a king called the Ngola. Little is known of the kingdom in the early sixteenth century. "Angola" was listed among the titles of the King of Kongo in 1535, so it is likely that it was in somewhat subordinate to Kongo. Its own oral traditions, collected in the late sixteenth century, particularly by the Jesuit Baltasar Barreira, described the founder of the kingdom, Ngola Kiluanje, also known as Ngola Inene, as a migrant from Kongo, chief of a Kimbundu-speaking ethnic group.

Precise scholarly definitions of the New Age differ in their emphasis, largely as a result of its highly eclectic structure. As a form of Western esotericism, the New Age drew heavily upon a number of older esoteric traditions, in particular, those that emerged from the occultist current that developed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Such prominent occultist influences include the work of Emanuel Swedenborg and Franz Mesmer, as well as the ideas of Spiritualism, New Thought, and Theosophy.

Hubbard initially developed a set of ideas which he represented as a form of therapy, called Dianetics. This he promoted through various publications, and through the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation, which he established in 1950. The foundation soon entered bankruptcy, and Hubbard lost the rights to his book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health in 1952. He then recharacterized the subject as a religion and renamed it Scientology, retaining the terminology, doctrines, and the practice of "auditing". Within a year, he regained the rights to Dianetics and retained both subjects under the umbrella of the Church of Scientology.

The presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church is Michael Bruce Curry, the first African-American bishop to serve in that position. The Episcopal Church was active in the Social Gospel movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Since the 1960s and 1970s, the church has pursued a decidedly more liberal course. It has opposed the death penalty and supported the civil rights movement and affirmative action. The church calls for the full legal equality of LGBTQIA+ people.

Ecumenism
A mainline Protestant Christian denomination based in the United States, with historical confessional roots in the Congregational, Reformed, and Lutheran traditions, and with approximately 4,852 churches and 802,356 members. The United Church of Christ is a historical continuation of the General Council of Congregational Christian churches founded under the influence of New England Pilgrims and Puritans. Moreover, it also subsumed the third largest Reformed group in the country, the German Reformed. The Evangelical and Reformed Church and the General Council of the Congregational Christian Churches united in 1957 to form the UCC. These two denominations, which were themselves the result of earlier unions, had their roots in Congregational, Lutheran, Evangelical, and Reformed denominations. The national settings of the UCC have historically favored liberal views on social issues, such as civil rights, LGBTQ rights, women's rights, and abortion. However, United Church of Christ congregations are independent in matters of doctrine and ministry and may not necessarily support the national body's theological or moral stances. It self-describes as "an extremely pluralistic and diverse denomination".

In addition to conducting anti-gay protests at military funerals, the organization pickets celebrity funerals and public events. Protests have also been held against Jews, against Mormons, and against Catholics. Many protests have included WBC members defacing the American flag, flying the flag upside down on a flagpole, and holding protest signs with inflammatory statements; the most notable of which being "God hates fags" and "Thank God for dead soldiers".

worship
A collection of religious ideas and systems which originated in the first century AD among early Christian and Jewish sects. These various groups emphasised personal spiritual knowledge (gnosis) over the orthodox teachings, traditions, and authority of the church. Viewing material existence as flawed or evil, Gnostic cosmogony generally presents a distinction between a supreme, hidden God and a malevolent lesser divinity (sometimes associated with the Yahweh of the Old Testament) who is responsible for creating the material universe. Gnostics considered the principal element of salvation to be direct knowledge of the supreme divinity in the form of mystical or esoteric insight. Many Gnostic texts deal not in concepts of sin and repentance, but with illusion and enlightenment.
Gnosticism
Gnostic religion
A belief system that venerates the essential characteristics that are affixed to Lucifer. The tradition, influenced by Gnosticism, usually reveres Lucifer not as the devil, but as a destroyer, a guardian, liberator, light bringer or guiding spirit to darkness, or even the true god as opposed to Jehovah.
Luciferianism

liquors
A drink historically described as a distilled, highly alcoholic beverage (45–74% ABV / 90–148 U.S. proof). It is an anise-flavoured spirit derived from botanicals, including the flowers and leaves of Artemisia absinthium ("grand wormwood"), together with green anise, sweet fennel, and other medicinal and culinary herbs. Absinthe has often been portrayed as a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug and hallucinogen. The chemical compound thujone, which is present in the spirit in trace amounts, was blamed for its alleged harmful effects. By 1915, absinthe had been banned in the United States and in much of Europe, including France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and Austria–Hungary, yet it has not been demonstrated to be any more dangerous than ordinary spirits. Recent studies have shown that absinthe's psychoactive properties have been exaggerated, apart from that of the alcohol.
Absinthe originated in the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland in the late 18th century. It rose to great popularity as an alcoholic drink in late 19th- and early 20th-century France, particularly among Parisian artists and writers. The consumption of absinthe was opposed by social conservatives and prohibitionists, partly due to its association with bohemian culture. From Europe and the Americas, notable absinthe drinkers included Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, Marcel Proust, Aleister Crowley, Erik Satie, Edgar Allan Poe, Lord Byron and Alfred Jarry.

proto-sciences
An ancient branch of natural philosophy, a philosophical and protoscientific tradition practiced throughout Europe, Africa, China and throughout Asia, observable in Chinese text from around 73–49 BCE and Greco-Roman Egypt in the first few centuries CE. Alchemists attempted to purify, mature, and perfect certain materials. Common aims were chrysopoeia, the transmutation of "base metals" (e.g., lead) into "noble metals" (particularly gold); the creation of an elixir of immortality; the creation of panaceas able to cure any disease; and the development of an alkahest, a universal solvent. The perfection of the human body and soul was thought to permit or result from the alchemical magnum opus and, in the Hellenistic and Western mystery tradition, the achievement of gnosis. In Europe, the creation of a philosopher's stone was variously connected with all of these projects.

Traditionally, a criminal behavior of high seriousness, whereas a misdemeanor is regarded as less serious.
felony
In the United States, where the felony/misdemeanor distinction is still widely applied, the federal government defines a felony as a crime punishable by death or imprisonment in excess of one year. If punishable by exactly one year or less, it is classified as a misdemeanor. The classification is based upon a crime's potential sentence, so a crime remains classified as a felony even if a defendant receives a sentence of less than a year of incarceration. Individual states may classify crimes by other factors, such as seriousness or context.

The part of the environment that is made or modified by humans for use in human activities and human habitats. The anthroposphere can be viewed as a human-generated equivalent to the biosphere. While the biosphere is the total biomass of the Earth and its interaction with its systems, the anthroposphere is the total mass of human-generated systems and materials, including the human population, and its interaction with the Earth's systems. However, while the biosphere is able to efficiently produce and recycle materials through processes like photosynthesis and decomposition, the anthroposphere is highly inefficient at sustaining itself.
anthroposphere

Originally referred to the metaphysical space made of up possible interpretations of words' meanings based on language and context. Today, the term "logosphere" is often used to refer to "the sum-total of ideas, concepts and facts that inhabit the collective texts — digital, printed, handwritten, carved or otherwise — of the human race", therefore the logosphere is a subspace of the infosphere.

lip lifts
A surgical technique for increasing the prominence (display) of the vermilion coloring of the lips, by removing skin (and other tissues) as required, ether directly from or from above the white line of skin that borders onto, and sets off, the vermilion of the lips (the white roll). The incisions remove tissue and significantly alter the shape of the lips by moving up the vermilion from both peaks of the Cupid's bow outwards to the commissures, the corners of the mouth. Incisions are also made below the lower lip to increase the projection of the vermilion of the lower lip.

gullwing lip lifts
A technical variant of the gull-wing lip lift is the sub-nasal lip lift (bull-horn lip lift), which involves the removal of either an ellipse or a curved-edge ellipse of tissue from under the nose. The skin then is raised, and sutured to lift the lip and expose more of the upper-lip vermilion. Depending upon the indications of the patient, this technique can increase the drooping the corners of the mouth (commissures); thus, the sub-nasal lip lift often includes a corner-lift surgical step. In the corner lift procedure (external angle oral commissuroplasty), triangles of tissue are resected from above the commissures, thereby elevating the corners of the mouth.[3] A descending wedge of tissue can also be removed to add contour to the Cupid's bow or to reduce bulky lips.

A lip lift in which the columella of the nose is not incised.
double duck lip lifts
double duck lip lift
Another variation of a lip lift is for a surgeon to make an incision inside the mouth to loosen the mucosa and vermilion, which are then advanced and secured, leaving a portion of scar tissue inside the mouth which may take 2–4 months to heal. Yet another technique uses a "W" incision inside the mouth to create several "V" flaps, which are then used in a V-to-Y plasty technique to advance the vermilion of either or both lips.[3] This procedure leaves no exposed areas inside the mouth, but can be painful and has a lengthy recovery period.

A theoretical approach which purports to examine psychological structure from an evolutionary perspective. Evolutionary psychologists hold that behaviors or traits that occur universally in all cultures are good candidates for evolutionary adaptations.
In many cases, "evolutionary psychology" has become a dogwhistle for ethnocentrism, white nationalism, and eugenics. Evolutionary psychologists have claimed that rape is an evolutionary adaptation, that the "hourglass" figure in women is a result of evolution, that phobias are innate, that being gay is a "maladaptive" behavior, and that IQ and race are linked at a genetic level (a form of scientific racism). Multiple evolutionary psychologists, including Marc Hauser and Diederik Stapel have admitted to fabricating evidence to support their theories.

A term which refers to a range of political stances that emphasize the idea of "the people" and often juxtapose this group against "the elite". The term developed in the 19th century and has been applied to various politicians, parties, and movements since that time, although it has rarely been chosen as a self-description. Within political science and other social sciences, several different definitions of populism have been employed, with some scholars proposing that the term be rejected altogether. A common framework for interpreting populism is known as the ideational approach: this defines populism as an ideology which presents "the people" as a morally good force and contrasts them against "the elite", who are portrayed as corrupt and self-serving. Populists differ in how "the people" are defined, but it can be based along class, ethnic, or national lines. Populists typically present "the elite" as comprising the political, economic, cultural, and media establishment, depicted as a homogeneous entity and accused of placing their own interests, and often the interests of other groups—such as large corporations, foreign countries, or immigrants—above the interests of "the people".
populist
populism
The belief or notion that individuals who form an elite—a select group of people perceived as having an intrinsic quality, high intellect, wealth, power, notablity, special skills, or experience—are more likely to be constructive to society as a whole, and therefore deserve influence or authority greater than that of others.
elitist
elitism

national populism
right-wing populism
A political ideology that combines left-wing politics with populist rhetoric and themes. Its rhetoric often consists of anti-elitism, opposition to the Establishment and speaking for the "common people". Recurring themes for left-wing populists include economic democracy, social justice, and skepticism of globalization. Socialist theory plays a lesser role than in traditional left-wing ideologies.
social populism
left-wing populism

left-wing libertarianism
a political philosophy and type of libertarianism that supports capitalist property rights and defends market distribution of natural resources and private property. The term right-libertarianism is used to distinguish this class of views on the nature of property and capital from left-libertarianism, a type of libertarianism that combines self-ownership with an egalitarian approach to natural resources. In contrast to socialist libertarianism, right-libertarianism supports free-market capitalism.

libertarian movement
libertarian movements
A loose grouping of primarily American litigants, commentators, tax protesters, and financial-scheme promoters, who claim to be answerable only to their particular interpretations of the common law and to not be subject to any government statutes or proceedings. In the United States, they do not recognize U.S. currency and maintain that they are "free of any legal constraints". They especially reject most forms of taxation as illegitimate. Participants in the movement argue this concept in opposition to the idea of "federal citizens", who, they say, have unknowingly forfeited their rights by accepting some aspect of federal law.
sovereign citizens movement
sovereign citizen movement
A libertarian political activism strategy. It was developed by American anarcho-capitalist theorists Murray Rothbard and Lew Rockwell in the American political context after the end of Cold War. From 1989 to 1995, they sought to communicate libertarian notions of opposition to government intervention using messages accessible to working and middle-class people of the time. This approach, usually identified as right-wing populism, was intended to radicalize citizens against the state. The name they chose for this style of activism evoked the roots of modern libertarianism, hence the prefix paleo. That founding movement was American classical liberalism, which shared the anti-war and anti–New Deal sentiments of the Old Right in the first half of the 20th century.

A type of psychotherapy developed by American psychiatrist Aaron T. Beck. CT is one therapeutic approach within the larger group of cognitive and behavioral therapies and was first expounded by Beck in the 1960s. Cognitive therapy is based on the cognitive model, which states that thoughts, feelings and behavior are all connected, and that individuals can move toward overcoming difficulties and meeting their goals by identifying and changing unhelpful or inaccurate thinking, problematic behavior, and distressing emotional responses. This involves the individual working with the therapist to develop skills for testing and changing beliefs, identifying distorted thinking, relating to others in different ways, and changing behaviors.

A fandom based on the philosophy espoused in John Norman's long-running sword and planet novel series Chronicles of Counter-Earth.
Gorean subculture
Norman's non-fictional sex manual Imaginative Sex presents a series of elaborate fantasy scenarios to be acted out in isolated scenes. He also recommends the use of symbolic substitutes, such as the sound of claps as a substitute for whippings and other physical punishments. Pat Califia asserts that Norman was critical of the psychological and physical harm that non-stop BDSM slavery and corporal punishment might inflict. However, such views of Norman are not part of the Gorean canon and debate on Gorean practices' relationship to BDSM, focusing on aspects such as Total Power Exchange and further complicated by the community's diverse nature, continue. BDSM writer Michael Makai nevertheless asserts that Gorean fiction may be found responsible for shaping or otherwise popularizing many of today's established BDSM protocols and tenets.

The campaign involved individuals creating rainbow pedestrian crossings in chalk to protest the removal of a temporary rainbow crossing from Oxford Street in Sydney. The temporary crossing was created by the City of Sydney as part of the 35th-anniversary celebration of the Sydney Mardi Gras. When the crossing was to be removed, the community protests and internet activism campaign emerged. In 2013, NSW’s first permanent rainbow crossing was approved and installed on Lackey St, Summer Hill. In 2019 a permanent Sydney rainbow crossing was unveiled in Taylor Square, on the corner of Bourke and Campbell streets.

finger ratios
A digit ratio calculated by dividing the length of the index finger of a given hand by the length of the ring finger of the same hand.
In 1983, Glenn Wilson of King's College London would publish an odd paper entitled "Finger-length as an index of assertiveness in women" which somehow found that women with a lower 2D:4D ratio reported greater assertiveness. Wilson’s hypothesis was that skeletal structure and personality were simultaneously affected by sex hormone levels in utero, despite a marked lack of evidence to support the idea. In 1998, John T. Manning et al further developed this idea, asserting that the 2D:4D ratio was "a predictor of sperm numbers and concentrations of testosterone, luteinizing hormone and oestrogen". In the 20 years since Manning et al's publication, more than 1,400 papers on 2D:4D ratio were published, linking the ratio to "attributes such as personality, cognitive abilities, and sexual orientation as well as to risk of illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis". Unfortunately, few, if any, were ultimately replicable, including animal studies which purported to showcase the importance of the 2D:4D ratio. Because of the uncertainty of the link between prenatal hormone exposure of the 2D:4D ratio, Kim Wallen, editor of the journal Hormones and Behavior, decided to stop accepting papers on the topic, saying "I’m not saying androgen is not at all important for human behavior. It is… I just don’t think that finger ratios are a scientifically reliable measure of the early hormone environment". In 2021, a publication by Nave et al appeared to debunk the 2D:4D ratio and prenatal androgen exposure idea. The team looked at 2D:4D ratios of persons with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, i.e. individuals with a condition defined by excessive prenatal exposure to androgens. While the group did find that 2D:4D correlated with sex (lower 2D:4D in males) and age (increase of 2D:4D through development), there was no evidence for differences in relation to prenatal androgen exposure in comparison to controls.

耽美
A subgenre that focuses on the worship of beauty, and on romance between older men and beautiful youths. Tanbi as a term and concept predates male-male romance manga that emerged in the 1970s, having originated to describe prose fiction depicting homosexuality by authors such as Yukio Mishima, Yasunari Kawabata, and Jun'ichirō Tanizaki. Tanbi works are typically defined by their poetic prose and unusual kanji, such as Chinese characters appropriated into Japanese script.
tanbi
Derived from the eponymous male-male romance manga magazine first published in 1978, the term was originally used to describe works that resembled the art style of manga published in that magazine. It has also been used to describe amateur works depicting male homosexuality that are original creations and not derivative works. By the 1990s, the term had largely fallen out of use in favor of "boys' love"; it has been suggested that publishers wishing to get a foothold in the June market coined "boys' love" to disassociate the genre from the publisher of June.

A hypothetical (and extremely degrading and discriminatory) device which claims to be able to detect the sexual orientation of an individual.
sexual orientation-detection device
sexual orientation-detection devices
A device developed in Canada by Frank Robert Wake in the 1950s that was supposed to be able to identify gay men (derogatorily referred to as "fruits"). The subjects were made to view pornography; the device then measured the diameter of the pupils of the eyes (pupillary response test), perspiration, and pulse for a supposed erotic response.
The accuracy and functional mechanism of the "fruit machine" was questionable. First, the pupillary response test was based on fatally flawed assumptions: that visual stimuli would give an involuntary reaction that can be measured scientifically; that homosexuals and heterosexuals would respond to these stimuli differently; and that there were only two types of sexuality. A physiological problem with the method was that the researchers failed to take into account the varying sizes of the pupils and the differing distances between the eyes. Other problems that existed were that the pictures of the subjects' eyes had to be taken from an angle, as the camera would have blocked the subjects' view of the photographs if it were placed directly in front. Also, the amount of light coming from the photographs changed with each slide, causing the subjects' pupils to dilate in a way that was unrelated to their interest in the picture. Finally, the dilation of the pupils was also exceedingly difficult to measure, as the change was often smaller than one millimeter.

A term referring to intimate relationships between partners of the same gender, known as aikāne, in pre-colonial Hawaiʻi. These relationships were particularly cherished by aliʻi nui (chiefs) and the male and female kaukaualiʻi performing a hana lawelawe or expected service with no stigma attached.
The word and social category of aikāne refers to: ai or intimate sexual relationship; and kāne or male/husband. In traditional moʻolelo or chants, women and goddesses (as well as aliʻi chiefs) referred to their female lovers as aikāne, as when the goddess Hiʻiaka refers to her female lover Hōpoe as her aikāne. During the late 19th and early 20th century, the word aikāne was "purified" of its sexual meaning by colonialism, and in print meant simply "friend", although in Hawaiian language publications its metaphorical meaning could mean either "friend" or "lover" without stigmatization.

Reproduction made possible via any of various assisted reproductive techniques.
assisted reproduction
A form of assisted reproduction involving two partners who produce oocytes. The method uses in vitro fertilization (IVF), a method that means eggs are removed from the ovaries, fertilized in a laboratory, and then one or more of the resulting embryos are placed in the uterus to hopefully create a pregnancy.
partner-assisted reproduction
An assisted reproductive technique involving two individuals who produce oocytes. The method uses in vitro fertilization (IVF), a method that means eggs are removed from the ovaries, fertilized in a laboratory, and then one or more of the resulting embryos are placed in the uterus to hopefully create a pregnancy. Reciprocal IVF differs from standard IVF in that two partners are involved: the eggs are taken from one partner, and the other partner carries the pregnancy.

Most prevalent in Britain, the concept has already spread to United States, where gays and lesbians are substantially more likely to vote Democratic, and Canada with many other countries like South Africa and Australia starting to acknowledge it. The pink vote is now well-established across countries in Western Europe with gay and lesbian voters being notably more inclined to vote for social democratic parties over right-wing parties and to be far more supportive of EU integration. In addition, there are socio-political movements and political groups formed by LGBTQIA+ people who are linked to political parties.

The “ability to maintain an interpersonal stance that is other-oriented (or open to the other) in relation to aspects of cultural identity that are most important to the [person].” Cultural humility is different from other culturally-based training ideals because it focuses on self-humility rather than being an other-directed "they/them" way of achieving a state of knowledge or awareness. It is helpful to see as others see; what they themselves have determined is their personal expression of their heritage and their “personal culture”.

In its broadest sense includes almost any Japanese theatrical film that includes nudity (hence 'pink') or deals with sexual content. This encompasses everything from dramas to action thrillers and exploitation film features. Some writers use the term 'pink film' for Japanese sex movies produced and distributed by smaller independent studios such as OP Eiga, Shintōhō Eiga, Kokuei and Xces. In this narrower sense, Nikkatsu's Roman Porno series, Toei Company's Pinky Violence series and the Tokatsu films distributed by Shochiku would not be included as these studios have much larger distribution networks.

A type of pornographic film produced secretly in the first two-thirds of the 20th century. Typically, stag films had certain traits. They were brief in duration (about 12 minutes at most), were silent, depicted explicit or graphic sexual behavior intended to appeal to men, and were produced clandestinely due to censorship laws. Stag films were screened for all-male audiences in fraternities or similar locations; observers offered a raucous collective response to the film, exchanging sexual banter and achieving sexual arousal.

The main conflict of the story is usually of a religious or sexual nature, such as religious oppression or sexual suppression due to living in celibacy. The Inquisition is another common theme. These films, although often seen as pure exploitation films, often contain criticism against religion in general and the Catholic Church in particular. Indeed, some protagonist dialogue voiced feminist consciousness and rejection of their subordinated social role.

It consists of a hollow saddle-like seat containing two electric motors, motor speed controller boards, gearing, pulleys and a platform on cranked axles such that a ridge on the top of the unit can be made to vibrate through a range of speeds as set using a wired external hand controller, and an upward pointing shaft set on an angle through the ridge can be made to rotate at speeds from zero rpm to several hundred rpm, again by use of the wired remote control. Flexible moulded attachments are supplied which fit over the vibrating ridge and shaft which mostly have integrated dildos on their top. In use, the rider locates the dildo into their body cavity for internal stimulation while pressing their external erogenous parts on the vibrating ridge.

The term for socially acceptable, long-term relationships between Basotho women in Lesotho. Motsoalle can be translated from Sesotho loosely as "a very special friend." The word, motsoalle, is used to describe the other woman, as in "she is my motsoalle;" and a motsoalle relationship describes the bond between the two women. Motsoalle relationships are socially sanctioned, and have often been celebrated by the people of Lesotho. These women's relationships usually occur alongside otherwise conventional heterosexual marriages and may involve various levels of physical intimacy between the female partners. Motsoalle relationships have, over time, begun to disappear in Lesotho.

Any of various laws relating to extramarital sex. Historically, many cultures considered adultery a very serious crime, some subject to severe punishment, especially in the case of extramarital sex involving a married woman and a man other than her husband, with penalties including capital punishment, mutilation, or torture. Such punishments have gradually fallen into disfavor, especially in Anglosphere and European countries from the 19th century. In countries where adultery is still a criminal offense, punishments range from fines to caning and even capital punishment. Since the 20th century, criminal laws against adultery have become controversial, with most countries repealing them.
Most countries that criminalize adultery are those where the dominant religion is Islam, and several Sub-Saharan African Christian-majority countries, but there are some notable exceptions to this rule, namely Philippines and 17 U.S. states.

A scheduled period in which an inmate of a prison or jail is permitted to spend several hours or days in private with a visitor. The visitor is usually their legal spouse, and the visit's purpose is usually sexual activity. The generally recognized basis for permitting such visits in modern times is to preserve family bonds and increase the chances of success for a prisoner's eventual return to ordinary life after release from prison. They also provide an incentive to inmates to comply with the various day-to-day rules and regulations of the prison. Conjugal visits usually take place in designated rooms or a structure provided for that purpose, such as a trailer or a small cabin. Supplies such as soap, condoms, lubricant, bed linens, and towels may be provided.

The manifestos do not elaborate extensively on the matter, but clearly combine references to Kabbalah, Hermeticism, alchemy, and Christian mysticism

music studies
A wide body of musicology since the 1980s with a focus upon the cultural study, aesthetics, criticism, and hermeneutics of music. It began in part a reaction against the traditional positivist musicology (focused on primary research) of the early 20th century and postwar era. Many of the procedures of new musicology are considered standard, although the name more often refers to the historical turn rather than to any single set of ideas or principles. Indeed, although it was notably influenced by feminism, gender studies, queer theory, postcolonial studies, and critical theory, new musicology has primarily been characterized by a wide-ranging eclecticism.

A subtle form of dehumanization in which fiction literature is used to teach history in schools; for instance, using literature which is said to be "age-appropriate" in order to propagate a less horrific version of historical events, or to otherwise position others living through those atrocities as "historically innocent".
Named after the book The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne, following the banning of the book Maus by the McMinn County, Tennessee, Board of Education. Autho Gwen C. Katz noted that "[t]he Boy in the Striped Pajamas is tailor-made for classroom use. It's taught at countless schools and it's squeaky-clean of any of the parent-objectionable material you might find in Maus, Night, or any of the other first-person accounts of the Holocaust... It's also a terrible way to teach the Holocaust." Katz goes on to state several historical issues with the portrayal set forward in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, saying "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas turns a specific historical atrocity into a parable about all forms of bigotry and injustice. I'm sure Boyne thinks he's being very profound. But the actual effect is to blunt and erase the atrocity."

Any of various theories which claim to be scientific, but instead push a racist agenda.
scientific racist theory
scientific racist theories
A scientific racist theory, first proposed by Canadian psychologist J. Philippe Rushton in 1985, which attempts to apply r/K selection theory to human races. According to Rushton, this theory explains race differences in fertility, IQ, criminality, and sexual anatomy and behavior. The theory also hypothesizes that a single factor, the "K factor", affects multiple population statistics Rushton referred to as "life-history traits".
Many researchers have criticized Rushton's theory. It has been argued that the predictions based on the theory "are supported by selective citation and misrepresentation of the research literature and by the use of unreliable sources" and that Rushton's methodology "indicates a lack of familiarity with ecological thinking and scientific method in general." A 2014 study found differences in the General Factor of Personality across races that were not compatible with differential K theory.
differential K theory
A scientific racist theory, named after educational psychologist Arthur Jensen, which was originally defined as "the theory that IQ is largely determined by the genes". However, because Jensen and proponents often used this theory to argue scientifically racist thought, it became associated with the theory that Black persons are genetically mentally inferior to white persons, based on the results of IQ tests.

race and intelligence controversy
Jensenism
Contemporary scientific consensus has shown that genetic factors do not explain IQ differences between socially constructed racial groups. Despite this, a number of prominent evolutionary psychologists still preach Jensenism under other labels such as "race realism" or "human biodiversity". For instance, The Bell Curve, by Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray claimed to support Jensenism. It is also notable that a number of far-right and alt-right scholars and organizations continue to fuel Jensenist beliefs in the 21st century. One such organization, the Pioneer Fund, deemed a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, attempted to fund distribution of a Nazi propaganda film about eugenics in U.S. schools and churches. Generally, Jensenism is highly associated with the 21st century "intellectual dark web" of scholars, many of whom have espoused sexist, racist, homophobic, and transphobic beliefs.
Jensenist theory
A white supremacist ideology which views the supposed Aryan race as a distinct and superior racial group which is entitled to rule the rest of humanity. Initially promoted by racist theorists such as Arthur de Gobineau and Houston Stewart Chamberlain, Aryanism reached its peak of influence in Nazi Germany. In the 1930s and 40s, the regime applied the ideology with full force, sparking World War II with the 1939 invasion of Poland in pursuit of Lebensraum, or living space, for the Aryan people. The racial policies which were implemented by the Nazis during the 1930s came to a head during their conquest of Europe and the Soviet Union, culminating in the industrial mass murder of six million Jews and eleven million other victims in what is now known as the Holocaust.
Aryanism
A racist and white supremacist ideology which views the "Nordic race" as an endangered and superior racial group.
Anglo-Saxonism
Fascist Nordicism
Frankisism
Nazi Nordicism
Teutonicism
The notion of the superiority of the "Nordic race" and the superiority of the Northwestern European nations that were associated with this supposed race influenced the United States' Immigration Act of 1924 (which effectively banned or severely limited the immigration of Italians, Jews, and other Southern and Eastern Europeans) and the later Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, and it was also present in other countries outside Northwestern Europe and the United States, such as Australia, Canada, and South Africa. By the 1930s, the Nazis claimed that the Nordic race was the most superior branch of the "Aryan race" and constituted a master race (Herrenvolk). The full application of this belief system—the invasion of Poland and further conquest in the pursuit of Lebensraum, 'living space'—was the immediate catalyst for World War II and led directly to the industrial mass murder of six million Jews and eleven million other victims in what is now known as the Holocaust.
Nordicism
19th-century Anglo-Saxonism
racial Anglo-Saxonism
A subtype of degeneration theory which posited that racial desegregation, the abolition of slavery, racial equality and equity, racial civil rights, and other societal changes were somehow connected to societal collapse.
racial degeneration
racial degeneration theory
racial degeneration theories
A subtype of degeneration theory which posited that changing sexual or gender norms, homosexuality, "sexual inversion", transness, gender equality, feminism, BDSM, etc., were somehow leading to the collapse of society.
sex degeneration theory
The very idea of "sexual degeneracy" has been stretched to inane conclusions, with those in the 19th and 20th believing that allowing women to vote would even constitute the collapse of society, or that homosexuality had something to do with the collapse of the Roman Empire, which is demonstrably false. However, despite such theories being bizarre, they are still published commonly in the 21st century. For instance, The Guardian published an article "How same-sex marriage could ruin civilisation" in 2015. A 2011 Telegraph article claimed that the "Fall of the Roman Empire caused by 'contagion of homosexuality'". And, in 2022, Jordan Peterson claimed that transgender people were somehow evidence of societal collapse.
sexual degeneration theory
sexual degeneration theories
Any of various theories which utilize race as a proxy for other characteristics. For instance, calling race a social determinant of health, rather than racism, the actual underlying social determinant. The usage of race corrections in health care and "race-norming" could also be considered forms of race proxy theory. However, the original usage of the phrase "race proxy theory" was to describe how white people often use neighborhood racial composition as a proxy for various "social problems" (such as crime).
race proxy hypothesis
race proxy theory
race proxy theories
race proxy hypotheses
Any of various theories which utilize race as a proxy to "correct" or "adjust" some value. Theories of race correction have been utilized widely in health care, and have also been used to adjust test scores. Both practices have been connected with and compared to eugenics and pseudoscientific racism, because the supposed proxy related to these changes is unclear at best, and unduely malicious at worst.

sex worker exclusionary radical feminism
A critical term for types of feminism that advocate for enhancing and increasing prison sentences that deal with feminist and gender issues. It is the belief that harsher and longer prison sentences will help work towards solving these issues. The phrase "carceral feminism" was coined by feminist sociologist Elizabeth Bernstein in her 2007 article, "The Sexual Politics of the 'New Abolitionism'". Examining the contemporary anti-trafficking movement in the United States, Bernstein introduced the term to describe a type of feminist activism which casts all forms of sexual labor as sex-trafficking.
carceral feminism
A political movement that advocates replacing policing with other systems of public safety. Police abolitionists believe that policing, as a system, is inherently flawed and cannot be reformed—a view that rejects the ideology of police reformists. While reformists seek to address the ways in which policing occurs, abolitionists seek to transform policing altogether through a process of disbanding, disempowering, and disarming the police. Abolitionists argue that the institution of policing is deeply rooted in a history of white supremacy and settler colonialism and that it is inseparable from a pre-existing racial capitalist order, and thus believe a reformist approach to policing will always fail.

A movement regarding the rights of gay persons in Germany from the late nineteenth century until 1933. The movement began in Germany because of a confluence of factors, including the criminalization of sex between men (Paragraph 175) and the country's relatively lax censorship. German writers in the mid-nineteenth century coined the word homosexual and criticized its criminalization. In 1897, Magnus Hirschfeld founded the world's first homosexual organization, the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee, whose aim was to use science to improve public tolerance of homosexuality and repeal Paragraph 175. During the German Empire, the movement was restricted to an educated elite, but it greatly expanded in the aftermath of World War I and the German revolution.

Believers assert that the healing of disease and disability can be brought about by religious faith through prayer or other rituals that, according to adherents, can stimulate a divine presence and power. Religious belief in divine intervention does not depend on empirical evidence of an evidence-based outcome achieved via faith healing. Virtually all scientists and philosophers dismiss faith healing as pseudoscience.

ethnomedicine
The religious or spiritual practice of evicting demons, jinns, or other spiritual entities from a person, or an area, that is believed to be possessed. Depending on the spiritual beliefs of the exorcist, this may be done by causing the entity to swear an oath, performing an elaborate ritual, or simply by commanding it to depart in the name of a higher power. The practice is ancient and part of the belief system of many cultures and religions.
exorcism
A pseudoscientific system of alternative medicine. Its practitioners, called homeopaths, believe that a substance that causes symptoms of a disease in healthy people can cure similar symptoms in sick people; this doctrine is called similia similibus curentur, or "like cures like". All relevant scientific knowledge about physics, chemistry, biochemistry and biology gained since at least the mid-19th century contradicts homeopathy. Homeopathic remedies are biochemically inert, and have no effect on any known disease.
homeopathy

homoeopathy
A form of alternative medicine. It employs an array of pseudoscientific practices branded as "natural", "non-invasive", or promoting "self-healing". The practices of naturopaths, the practitioners of naturopathic medicine, vary widely and are difficult to generalize. he ideology and methods of naturopathy are based on vitalism and folk medicine rather than evidence-based medicine (EBM), although some practitioners may use techniques supported by EBM. Naturopathic practitioners commonly recommend against following modern medical practices, including but not limited to medical testing, drugs, vaccinations, and surgery. Instead, naturopathic practice relies on unscientific notions, often leading naturopaths to diagnoses and treatments that have no factual merit.

An attempt to search for concepts by mapping the language and data which surrounds those concepts and adjusting the search method iteratively to synthesize evidence and assess the scope of an area of inquiry. This can mean that the concept search and method (including data extraction, organisation and analysis) are refined throughout the process, sometimes requiring deviations from any protocol or original research plan. A scoping review may often be a preliminary stage before a systematic review, which 'scopes' out an area of inquiry and maps the language and key concepts to determine if a systematic review is possible or appropriate, or to lay the groundwork for a full systematic review. The goal can be to assess how much data or evidence is available regarding a certain area of interest. This process is further complicated if it is mapping concepts across multiple languages or cultures.

A concept coined by Cedric J. Robinson in his book Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition, published in 1983. It describes the process of extracting social and economic value from a person of a different racial identity, typically a person of color; however, a person of any race might engage in racial capitalism, as might an institution dominated by one particular race. Robinson, in contrast to both his predecessors and successors, theorized that all capitalism was inherently racial capitalism, and racialism is present in all layers of capitalism's socioeconomic stratification. In fact, he states that capital "can only accumulate by producing and moving through relations of severe inequality among human groups." Therefore, for capitalism to survive, it must exploit and prey upon the "unequal differentiation of human value.

Removing or preventing vaginal lubrication through practices associated with dry sex increases friction during intercourse, which may be perceived as increased vaginal tightness, and enhanced sexual pleasure for the male partner. Some men who insist on dry sex regard "wet" women as unchaste. Dry sex can be painful for women and men. Dry sex is common in Sub-Saharan Africa and it has also been reported in Suriname among Afro-Surinamese women. The practice has been linked to the high incidence of HIV/AIDS infection in South Africa.

alchemical substance
alchemical substances
A theorized end product of an alchemical magnus opus. Supposedly, after one has gone through the stages of putrefaction and purification, separating opposing qualities, those qualities are united once more in what is sometimes described as the divine "hermaphrodite", a reconciliation of spirit and matter, a being of both male and female qualities as indicated by the male and female head within a single body.
Note that this consideration of perfection as a "divine hermaphrodite" was completely in conflict with intersexphobia in the medieval era.

Labia stretching, also referred to as labia elongation or labia pulling, is the act of lengthening the labia minora (the inner lips of the female genitals) through manual manipulation (pulling) or physical equipment (such as weights). It is a familial cultural practice in parts of Eastern and Southern Africa, and a body modification practice elsewhere. It is performed for sexual enhancement for the benefit of both partners, aesthetics, symmetry and gratification.
labia elongation
labia pulling
Although the World Health Organization previously included labial stretching within the context of "mutilation" (see Genital modification and mutilation), the negative context of that was not supported by the research of Marian Koster MSc and Dr. Lisa Price of Wageningen University, Netherlands. This led the WHO to schedule amending their treatment of it, perhaps as "modification" instead, in February 2008. The practice of labial stretching does not violate women's rights, in that it does not involve physical violence, unless the woman is misled as to the benefits of the practice. However, it may be contrary to African customary law and rights of women if it is in conflict with public policy

A field of critical theory, inspired by queer theory and bisexual politics, that foregrounds bisexuality as both a theoretical focus and as an epistemology. Bisexual theory emerged most prominently in the 1990s, in response to the burgeoning queer studies movement, employing a similar post-structuralist approach but redressing queer theory’s tendency towards bisexual erasure.
bisexual theory
An academic discipline that examines the meaning, nature, and consequences of disability. Initially, the field focused on the division between "impairment" and "disability", where impairment was an impairment of an individual's mind or body, while disability was considered a social construct.

An intellectual stance, mode of discourse, and philosophy defined by an attitude of skepticism toward what it considers as the grand narratives and ideologies of modernism, as well as opposition to epistemic certainty and the stability of meaning. Claims to objective fact are dismissed as naive realism. Postmodernism is characterized by self-referentiality, epistemological, moral relativism, pluralism, irony, irreverence, and eclecticism; it rejects the "universal validity" of binary oppositions, stable identity, hierarchy, and categorization.

postmodernism
postmodern theories
A term for philosophical and literary forms of theory that both build upon and reject ideas established by structuralism, the intellectual project that preceded it. Though post-structuralists all present different critiques of structuralism, common themes among them include the rejection of the self-sufficiency of structuralism, as well as an interrogation of the binary oppositions that constitute its structures. Accordingly, post-structuralism discards the idea of interpreting media (or the world) within pre-established, socially constructed structures.
poststructuralism
post-structuralism
The use of social and political power to dictate how some people may live and how some must die. The deployment of necropolitics creates what Mbembe calls deathworlds, or "new and unique forms of social existence in which vast populations are subjected to living conditions that confer upon them the status of the living dead." Achille Mbembe, author of On the Postcolony, was the first scholar to explore the term in depth in his 2003 article, and later, his 2019 book of the same name. Mbembe identifies racism as a prime driver of necropolitics, stating that racialized people's lives are systemically cheapened and habituated to loss.
necropolitics
The study of veganism, within the humanities and social sciences, as an identity and ideology, and the exploration of its depiction in literature, the arts, popular culture, and the media. In a narrower use of the term, vegan studies seeks to establish veganism as a "mode of thinking and writing" and a "means of critique".

An approach to archaeology that uses queer theory to challenge normative, and especially heteronormative, views of the past.
queer archaeology
Archaeology which employs a feminist perspective in interpreting past societies. It often focuses on gender, but also considers gender in tandem with other factors, such as sexuality, race, or class. Feminist archaeology has critiqued the uncritical application of modern, Eurocentric norms and values to past societies. It is additionally concerned with increasing the representation of women in the discipline of archaeology, and reducing androcentric bias within the field.

A partner dance and social dance that originated in the 1880s along the Río de la Plata, the natural border between Argentina and Uruguay. It was born in the impoverished port areas of these countries, in neighborhoods which had predominantly African descendants. The tango is the result of a combination of Rioplatense Candombe celebrations, Spanish-Cuban Habanera, and Argentinean Milonga. The tango was frequently practiced in the brothels and bars of ports, where business owners employed bands to entertain their patrons with music. The tango then spread to the rest of the world. Many variations of this dance currently exist around the world.

Considerations of how the profession relates to broader philosophical or sociocultural contexts may be included.
philosophy of education
educational philosophy
educational philosophies
A philosophy of education and social movement that developed and applied concepts from critical theory and related traditions to the field of education and the study of culture. It insists that issues of social justice and democracy are not distinct from acts of teaching and learning. The goal of critical pedagogy is emancipation from oppression through an awakening of the critical consciousness, based on the Portuguese term conscientização. When achieved, critical consciousness encourages individuals to effect change in their world through social critique and political action in order to self-actualize.
critical pedagogy
Any of various theories related to education.
theory of education
education theory
The theory and practice of learning, and how this process influences, and is influenced by, the social, political and psychological development of learners. Pedagogy, taken as an academic discipline, is the study of how knowledge and skills are imparted in an educational context, and it considers the interactions that take place during learning. Both the theory and practice of pedagogy vary greatly, as they reflect different social, political, and cultural contexts.
pedagogy
An academic discipline devoted to exploring the intersection between queer theory and critical pedagogy, which are both grounded in critical theory. It is also noted for challenging the so-called "compulsory cisheterosexual and normative structures, practices, and curricula" that marginalize or oppress non-heterosexual and non-cisgender students and teachers.
queer pedagogy
The branch of biology concerned with the relations between organisms and their environment.
ecology
An ecological perspective which views nature, biology, and sexuality through the lens of queer theory. It objects to what it considers heterosexist notions of nature, drawing from science studies, ecofeminism, environmental justice, and queer geography. This perspective breaks apart various "dualisms" that exist within human understanding of nature and culture.

The genus Chlamydophila was created by Everett et al. (1999). A number of investigators disagreed strongly with the creation of the new genus (Schacter et al., 2001, but see Everett and Andersen, 2001). The Subcommittee on the taxonomy of the Chlamydiae agree with the novel species described by Everett et al., but disagree with those authors concerning the creation of a novel genus (Greub, 2010). The Subcomittee has proposed examination of genome sequences of Chlamydieaceae strains to address the issue of reunification of the genera Chlamydia and Chlamydophila (Greub, 2010b). Recently, Kuo et al. (2011), in order to reassign the the novel species described by Everett et al. and placed by them in the genus Chlamydophila, have published new combinations using the genus epithet Chlamydia in place of Chlamydophila. However, these combinations have not been validly published as of this writing. Given the contentious nature of the issue, the NCBI Taxonomy Database retains both genus names for use by submitters. For species names, priority in the Database is given to the original form of the validly published name (Chlamydia <species> OR Chlamydophila <species>) pending validation of the new combinations of Kuo et al., or other resolution of the issue.
Chlamydia/Chlamydophila group
A family of viruses that possess RNA-dependent DNA polymerases (reverse transcriptases) and contain two identical molecules of positive sense, single-stranded RNA of high molecular weight. This RNA serves as a template for the synthesis of a complementary DNA, which may be integrated into the host DNA. Virions are enveloped.
Family of RNA viruses that infects birds and mammals and encodes the enzyme reverse transcriptase. The family contains seven genera: Deltaretrovirus; Lentivirus; Retroviruses Type B, Mammalian; Alpharetrovirus; Gammaretrovirus; Retroviruses Type D; and Spumavirus. A key feature of retrovirus biology is the synthesis of a DNA copy of the genome which is integrated into cellular DNA. After integration it is sometimes not expressed but maintained in a latent state (Proviruses).

The theoretical totality of characteristics of reproductive structure, functions, phenotype, and genotype, differentiating the male from the female organism. In practice, many cases occur where a majority of characteristics occur aligning with "maleness" or "femaleness", with a minority not fitting those expectations. "Sex" therefore is often not specific enough of a term to be useful. Consider using something like "gonadal sex" or "chromosomal sex" instead.
"Sex" is an extremely complicated term with many different meanings, both historical and contemporarily, as well as colloquially. It should be avoided, and more specific terms should be used in its place (such as "chromosomal sex" or "hormonal sex").

Designation of the part of the body through which or into which, or the way in which, the medicinal product is intended to be introduced. In some cases a medicinal product can be intended for more than one route and/or method of administration.
The various ways of administering a drug or other chemical to a site in a patient or animal from where the chemical is absorbed into the blood and delivered to the target tissue.
drug administration route
drug route of administration
route of drug administration
routes of administration
ROA
drug administration routes
The introduction of a substance to the mouth or into the gastrointestinal tract by the way of the mouth, usually for systemic action. It is the most common, convenient, and usually the safest and least expensive route of drug administration, but it uses the most complicated pathway to the tissues and bioavailability varies. The disadvantages of method are hepatic first pass metabolism and enzymatic degradation of the drug within the gastrointestinal tract. This prohibits oral administration of certain classes of drugs especially peptides and proteins.
oral administration
oral route of administration
Administration of a substance by some means other than through the gastrointestinal tract: usually through injection, infusion, or implantation. Predominantly, the drug action is systemic, but in some cases, it is confined to local area.
parenteral route of administration
The introduction of a substance into the gastrointestinal tract by the way of the rectum, usually for systemic action. Depending on the molecular structure, drugs cross the rectal wall via either intercellular or tight junctions interconnecting the mucosal cells. Drug absorption is usually around 50% of normal oral dose. Due to the drainage pattern of the rectal veins, the hepatic first-pass effect tends to increase as the dosage form is placed deeper into the rectum. Solid suppositories represent greater than 98% of all rectal dosage forms.
rectal route of administration
Drug administration beneath the skin. It provides for relatively slow, sustained release of the drug. The rate of absorption into the blood is perfusion-limited, proportional to the amount of drug at the site and can be enhanced by chemical or physical stimulation of blood flow. Subcutaneous administration minimizes the risks associated with intravascular injection: for subcutaneous infusions, external and implantable pumps are used.
subdermal route of administration
subcutaneous route of administration
subcutaneous route
Administration of a drug beneath the tongue. The route provides rapid absorption, the drug immediately enters the bloodstream without first passing through the intestinal wall and liver. However, most drugs cannot be taken this way because they may be absorbed incompletely or erratically.
sublingual route of administration
The application of a drug to a certain area of the skin or mucous membrane (including the intra-organ application), or other tissue locally, so that the agent will take effect on the surface and/or on the underlying tissues.
topical route of administration
Administration of a substance through the dermal layer of the skin into the systemic circulation by diffusion.
transdermal route of administration
Administration of a drug into the vagina. The medication usually has the form of a solution, tablet, cream, gel, or suppository. The drug is slowly absorbed through the vaginal wall with predominantly local, but some systemic effects.
vaginal route of administration
Administration to the skin.
dermal route of administration
cutaneous route of administration
Administration of a drug by the way of absorption through the skin, usually for systemic action. The route allows sustained therapeutic plasma drug levels and avoids first pass effect. Simplicity of administration tends to result in high patient compliance.
percutaneous route of administration
percutaneous route

One of a pair of intromittent organs of male squamates. Hemipenes are usually held inverted, within the body, and are everted for reproduction via erectile tissue like that in the human penis. Only one is used at a time, and some evidence indicates males alternate use between copulations. The hemipenis itself has a variety of shapes, depending on species. Often the hemipenis bears spines or hooks, in order to anchor the male within the female. Some species even have forked hemipenes (each hemipenis has two tips). Due to being everted and inverted, hemipenes do not have a completely enclosed channel for the conduction of sperm, but rather a seminal groove which seals as the erectile tissue expands.

A male anatomical structure found some groups of animals, used in mating. Male cartilaginous fish have claspers formed from the posterior portion of their pelvic fin which serve as intromittent organs used to channel semen into the female's cloaca during mating. The act of mating in some fish including sharks usually includes one of the claspers raised to allow water into the siphon through a specific orifice. The clasper is then inserted into the vagina, where it opens like an umbrella to anchor its position. The siphon then begins to contract expelling water and sperm. Male chimaeras have cephalic claspers on their heads, which are thought to aid in holding the female during mating.

On the surface of the organ this tissue is much condensed, and forms a layer composed of short connective-tissue fibers, with fusiform cells between them. The stroma of the ovary may contain interstitial cells resembling those of the testis.

EU policies aim to ensure the free movement of people, goods, services and capital within the internal market; enact legislation in justice and home affairs; and maintain common policies on trade, agriculture, fisheries and regional development. Passport controls have been abolished for travel within the Schengen Area. A monetary union was established in 1999, coming into full force in 2002, and is composed of 19 EU member states which use the euro currency.

Consists of a circle with a small cross below it. It originates in Late Antiquity as an astrological symbol for the planet Venus (associated with the goddess Venus), and hence as an old and obsolete alchemical symbol for copper. In modern times, it is still used as the astronomical symbol for Venus, although its use is discouraged by the International Astronomical Union. In zoology and botany, it is used to represent the female sex (alongside the astrological symbol for Mars representing the male sex), following a convention introduced by Linnaeus in the 1750s. Following the biological convention, the symbol in the 20th century also came to be used in sociological contexts to represent women or femininity.

Broadly, a transgender person. Sometimes narrowly used to refer to a transgender person who is living full-time using the gender expression which matches their gender identity without considering surgeries related to genitalia.
Many transgender people do not associate medical procedures or changes with being transgender; for this reason, this term may be considered offensive to many transgender people and should be avoided.

An outdated medical term referring to erotic attraction toward members of the same sex that is not consciously experienced or expressed in overt action.

The first name used for the disease now known as AIDS. GRID was first mentioned in a May 11, 1982 article in the New York Times. In this article, the initialism "A.I.D." (acquired immunodeficiency disease) is also mentioned. In the early days of the disease (i.e., 1982–1985), the term "gay plague" was also used, while similar terms were used for associated conditions later recognized as AIDS-defining clinical conditions, such as "gay cancer" for Kaposi's sarcoma and "gay pneumonia" for Pneumocystis pneumonia. The term GRID was never used in the scientific biomedical literature. In the popular press, it was only used for a very short period of time. On August 8, 1982, the acronym AIDS (for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) first appeared in the New York Times. It was initially styled as A.I.D.S. The reason for the GRID-to-AIDS change in nomenclature was the realization that the "gay" attribution did not fully encompass the demographics of the disease.

A series of demonstrations by members of the LGBTQ community in response to a police raid that began in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City, New York, United States of America. Patrons of the Stonewall, other Village lesbian and gay bars, and neighborhood street people fought back when the police became violent. The riots are widely considered a watershed event that transformed the gay liberation movement and the twentieth-century fight for LGBTQ rights in the United States.

Black Cat Tavern Protest
A series of violent events sparked by an announcement of a lenient sentencing of Dan White for the assassinations of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and of Harvey Milk, a member of the city's Board of Supervisors who was one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States. The events took place on the night of May 21, 1979 (the night before what would have been Milk's 49th birthday) in San Francisco. Earlier that day, White had been convicted of voluntary manslaughter, the lightest possible conviction for his actions. That White was not convicted of first-degree murder (of which he was originally charged) had so outraged the city's gay community that it set off the most violent reaction by gay Americans since the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City (which is credited as the beginning of the modern gay rights movement in the United States).
White Night Riots
An anti-homophobic rally held in Tbilisi, Georgia, on May 17, 2013, the International Day Against Homophobia. Gay rights activists holding the rally were met by thousands of protestors opposing homosexuality, who were allowed to break through a police cordon and violently pursued them, beating and throwing stones at them. The rally, organized by Georgian LGBTQ-rights organization Identoba, was the first officially sanctioned anti-homophobic demonstration held in Georgia.
2013 Tbilisi Protests
An incident of violence against LGBTQIA+ people that occurred on 10 October 2010 during a pride parade, organized to promote LGBTQ rights in Serbia. The gay pride parade has been the first in Belgrade since 2001; a planned parade in 2009 was cancelled due to the threat of violence. Anti-gay and anti-government protesters fought with about 5,000 armed police, throwing Molotov cocktails, bricks, stones, glass bottles and firecrackers; the police used tear gas and rubber bullets. There were no fatalities.

This is a misspelling of "transvestism".
A term which has had multiple usages since Classical times. Originally it was a name for a disease caused by unrequited love; then it became a disease of excessive sexual desire or activity (similar to hypersexuality, known then either as nymphomania or satyriasis), next it became a mental disorder generally, and finally it came to be known as a paranoid delusion in which someone believes that they are loved by someone else (it is preferred to use De Clerambault syndrome for this final definition to avoid confusion).
erotomania
Four historical convergences are identified in the history of erotomania. According to the first, which lasted from Classical times to the early eighteenth century, erotomania was a 'general disease caused by unrequited love'. According to the second, erotomania was a disease of 'excessive physical love (nymphomania)'; this view remained active well into the nineteenth century. The third convergence focuses on the view that erotomania is a form of 'mental disorder', and this was held throughout the twentieth century. The fourth and current definition (a development of the third stage) sees erotomania as a 'the delusional belief of being loved by someone else'. Differences between Anglo- Saxon and French views cast doubt on the meaning or coherence of the much- abused English eponym 'de Clérambault syndrome'. Erotomania is a construct, a mirror reflecting Western views on spiritual and physical love, sex, and gender inequality and abuse. On account of this, it is unlikely that there will ever be a final, 'scientific' definition rendering erotomania into a 'natural kind' and making it susceptible to brain localization and biological treatment.
A form of delusional erotomania (better known as De Clerambault syndrome) in which an individual hyperfixates or obsesses about the person they think is in love with them.
This term is not recommended and is mostly historical. Simply use De Clerambault syndrome instead.
obsessional erotomania

urningism
uraniadism
uranianism
Karl Heinrich Ulrichs derived Uranian (Urning in German) from the Greek goddess Aphrodite Urania, who was created out of the god Uranus' testicles. Therefore, it represents the homosexual gender, while Dionian (Dioning), derived from Aphrodite Dionea, represents the heterosexual gender. Ulrichs developed his terminology before the first public use of the term homosexual, which appeared in 1869 in a pamphlet published anonymously by Karl-Maria Kertbeny (1824–82).
The term Uranian was quickly adopted by English-language advocates of homosexual emancipation in the Victorian era, such as Edward Carpenter and John Addington Symonds, who used it to describe a comradely love that would bring about true democracy, uniting the "estranged ranks of society" and breaking down class and gender barriers. Oscar Wilde wrote to Robert Ross in an undated letter (?18 February 1898): "To have altered my life would have been to have admitted that Uranian love is ignoble. I hold it to be noble—more noble than other forms."
Uranismus

Before entering upon this, however, it may be explained that the word uranism, widely used in Europe is understood to mean sexually inverted love. It is generally used in reference to male subjects but is extended by some writers to include the feminine sphere as well.

androgynism
androgynous behavior
In contemporary usage, "androgyny" is often not offensive, but its historical usage most definitely would be considered offensive today. People may identify as an androgyne as a gender identity or explain their gender expression as androgynous, but the description of these persons as experiencing "androgyny" is misleading and inappropriate in most situations.
androgynie
androgyny
androgynous behaviors
An historical term for extremely marked, frequent, and/or increased libido observed in women. This term is outdated and pathologizing and is not recognized as a specific disorder in the DSM, with the term hypersexuality preferred. As historian Carol Groneman notes "Nymphomania conjures up madness while Don Juanism hints of nobility and Spanish courts … 'Men are less stigmatized by this behavior… for all it’s apparent openness, our society doesn’t yet loudly applaud a fully sexual woman". And as clinical support worker and addiction professional Robert Weiss argued "[nymphomania is] an antiquated and demeaning word used to denigrate women. It is not a medical or psychiatric diagnosis, and it is certainly not helpful to anyone".

Sodomy was generally used to refer to anal or oral sex between people or sexual activity between a person and a non-human animal (bestiality), but it may also sometimes refer to any non-procreative sexual activity.
androsodomy
Due to the negative connotation, impreciseness, and derogatory nature of the word "sodomy" it is recommended that the term be avoided in favor of more positive and specific language in nearly all circumstances. However, when it cannot be determined which act a historical document is referring to, the term may be used as a classifier.

Bonnie Zimmerman documents a use of the term to refer to a lesbian who "does not allow herself to be touched during lovemaking", but may experience vicarious sexual pleasure from her partner's enjoyment. Zimmerman notes that this may have been particularly prevalent in the 1940s and 1950s.

In the latter the clitoris is excited by tongueing and by sucking with the lips. This is known as Tribadism, Sapphism or Lesbianism, and is even a trade with some who perform the act as a living.
Sapphic love rises predominant here [in Portugal]; the stories I have heard of the females, who indulge themselves in this passion, are almost incredible.

Alongside its use to refer to gay men in particular, it may also be used as a pejorative term for a "repellent man" or to refer to women who are lesbian (or to transgender people, typically transgender women). Its use has spread from the United States to varying extents elsewhere in the English-speaking world through mass culture, including film, music, and the Internet.

Inversion, or contrary sexual sensation, is a perversion which crosses all of the previous classes, but among the published cases at least, leans more to the passive of Masochistic form. This coincides with what is known of the peculiar societies of inverts. Coffee-clatches, where the members dress themselves with aprons, etc., and knit, gossip and crochet; balls, where men adopt the ladies’ evening dress, are well known in Europe. "The Fairies" of New York are said to be a similar secret organization. The avocations which inverts follow are frequently feminine in their nature. They are fond of the actor’s life, and particularly that of the comedian requiring the dressing in female attire, and the singing in imitation of a female voice, in which they often excel.
The favorite color among normal women, and indeed very often among normal men, though here not so often as blue, is red, and it is notable that in recent years there has been a fashion for a red tie to be adopted by inverts as their badge. This is especially marked among the "fairies" (as a fellator is there termed) in New York. "It is red," writes an American correspondent, himself inverted, "that has become almost a synonym for sexual inversion, not only in the minds of inverts themselves, but in the popular mind…"
The term "fairie" is widely used in the United States by those who are in touch with the underworld. It probably originated on sailing vessels of olden times when voyages lasted for months. While the crew was either actually or prospectively suffering acutely from the absence of the female of the species, one of their number would unexpectedly betray an inclination to supply her place. Looked upon as a fairy gift or godsend, such an individual would be referred to as "the fairy."
To walk or drive about a locality in search of a sex partner, usually of the anonymous, casual, one-time variety.

A term used selectively by some in the transgender community, historically used to refer to transgender persons who had undergone or desired to undergo gender confirming surgeries (particularly genitoplasty). This terminology can be somewhat pathologizing in its connection to "transsexualism" and its potential to be construed as a form of differentiating between "true" and "false" transgender persons. The term should generally be avoided, especially by cisgender persons, although it is notable that some trans people prefer the term, or reclaim it in select circumstances.

"Transsexual" largely fell out of favor due to the "-sexual'' suffix being mistaken as indicating a sexuality or sexual orientation (as in "heterosexual" or "homosexual"). Even today, many mistakeningly list "transsexual" as a sexual orientation/sexuality. This displays a huge misunderstanding of transgender people and may turn off transgender persons generally.

Often in their writings they applied this term to any male who they perceived to be homosexual, bisexual, or effeminate by Western social standards, leading to a wide variety of diverse individuals being categorized under this imprecise term. At times they incorrectly implied that these individuals were intersex (or, "hermaphrodites").

neutrois gender identity
Despite many sites claiming an "H. A. Burnham" coining and using the term "neutrois" in 1995, the earliest example in the Internet Archive appears to be from 2000 (although presumably the term preceded that).
Probably blend of French "neutre" (neuter, neutral) and "trois" (three, as in third gender).
The earliest appearance of the term "neutrois" in any Usenet newsgroup is in a footer of a message posted by the user GoSpangs on 3 December 1996 (see here: https://groups.google.com/forum/message/raw?msg=soc.support.transgendered/ckLke9K-WtU/LuzuiVWEqTMJ). The footer also includes the name "Holly A. Burnham".
neutrois
I'm attracted to men, and being a neutrois/man, that makes me gay. But so what? I lived up to my lesbian reputation and tried it with a girl, once (well, we tried it a great deal more than just once). I'm not ashamed of that. What I'm ashamed of is not fighting as much as I should have. I should've stood up every f**king time. Even if I wasn't trans, I still had the right to act any way I chose and no one had any business telling me otherwise. I'm ashamed because I didn't go out for football. I'm ashamed because I didn't go to the prom in a tuxedo. I'm ashamed because I didn't know I was genderqueer, spent puberty being mistreated for being different, and slamming gays and lesbians to feel better. I can't apologize for hurting those people.. that's what shames me the most.

An English slang interjection, commonly associated with North American English. It was popularized by the Italian-American community in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the 1940s.
Third-person singular, familiar.
Only in the city of Baltimore has "yo" become a gender-neutral pronoun in general use.
A second-person plural pronoun used mainly in Western Pennsylvania English, most prominently in Pittsburgh, but it is also found throughout the cultural region known as Appalachia, located within the geographical region of the Appalachians.
You (plural).
yinz
(To) yourselves, (to) yourself.
Anyone, one; an unspecified individual or group of individuals (as subject or object).
The people spoken to or written to, as a subject. Replacing ye.
The people spoken, or written to, as an object.
The person spoken to or written to, as a subject. Originally as a mark of respect.
The person spoken to or written to, as an object. Replacing thee; originally as a mark of respect.
Originally, you was specifically plural (indicating multiple people), and specifically the object form (serving as the object of a verb or preposition; like us as opposed to we). The subject pronoun was ye, and the corresponding singular pronouns were thee and thou, respectively. In some forms of (older) English, you and ye doubled as polite singular forms, e.g. used in addressing superiors, with thee and thou being the non-polite singular forms. In the 1600s, some writers objected to the use of "singular you" (compare objections to the singular they), but in modern English thee and thou are archaic and all but nonexistent and you is used for both the singular and the plural.
Several forms of English now distinguish singular you from various marked plural forms, such as you guys, y'all, or youse, though not all of these are completely equivalent or considered Standard English.
you
myself
You (singular); used emphatically, especially to indicate exclusiveness of the referent's participation in the predicate, i.e., that no one else is involved.

That which belongs to you (singular); the possessive second-person singular pronoun used without a following noun.
yours
A contraction of you and all, sometimes combined as you-all. Y'all is the main second-person plural pronoun in Southern American English, with which it is best associated, though it also appears in other English varieties, including African-American English and South African Indian English. It is usually used as a plural second-person pronoun, but whether it is exclusively plural is a perennial subject of discussion.

A metaphor for LGBTQIA+ people's self-disclosure of their sexual orientation or of their gender identity. The term coming out can also be used in various non-LGBTQIA+ applications (e.g. atheists). Framed and debated as a privacy issue, coming out of the closet is described and experienced variously as a psychological process or journey; decision-making or risk-taking; a strategy or plan; a mass or public event; a speech act and a matter of personal identity; a rite of passage; liberation or emancipation from oppression; an ordeal; a means toward feeling gay pride instead of shame and social stigma; or even career suicide. Author Steven Seidman writes that "it is the power of the closet to shape the core of an individual's life that has made homosexuality into a significant personal, social, and political drama in twentieth-century America".

Additionally, it has been used by social conservatives and others to describe alleged goals of LGBT rights activists, such as recruiting heterosexuals into what conservatives term a "homosexual lifestyle".

A crime in some parts of the English-speaking world, originally used to criminalize sexual activity between men that fell short of sodomy, which required penetration. The term was first used in British law in a statute of the British Parliament in 1885 and was carried forward in other statutes throughout the British Empire. The offense was never actually defined in any of the statutes which used it, which left the scope of the offense to be defined by court decisions. The concept of gross indecency as a criminal offense is deeply reflective of Victorian-era morality.

Heterosexual–Homosexual Rating Scale
A moral panic during the mid-20th century about homosexual people in the United States government and their mass dismissal from government service. It contributed to and paralleled the anti-communist campaign known as McCarthyism and the Second Red Scare. Gay men and lesbians were said to be national security risks and communist sympathizers, which led to the call to remove them from state employment. It was thought that gay people were more susceptible to being manipulated, which could pose a threat to the country. The Lavender Scare – the federal government's official response to both a visible lesbian and gay community and a perceived homosexual menace – normalized persecution of homosexuals through bureaucratic institutionalization of homophobic discrimination policy.

Inclusion of the "*" may open up debates about what truly constitutes transgender, and lead to various forms of nonbinaryphobia and transmedicalism.

A symbol of LGBTQIA+ pride and LGBTQIA+ social movements. Also known as the gay pride flag or LGBT pride flag, the colors reflect the diversity of the LGBTQIA+ community and the spectrum of human sexuality and gender. Using a rainbow flag as a symbol of gay pride began in San Francisco, but eventually became common at LGBTQIA+ rights events worldwide. Originally devised by artist Gilbert Baker, the design has undergone several revisions since its debut in 1978, first to remove colors then restore them based on availability of fabrics. Baker's first rainbow flag had eight colors, though the most common variant consists of six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is typically flown horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.

One's actual gender.
Can come off as derogatory or othering to transgender people; simply use "gender" instead.
authentic gender
The gender one experiences, or feels, internally.
This term can sometimes be derogatory, as it implies that one's gender is as simple as a feeling, rather than an integral part of their life. Terms like authetic gender or simply gender should be used instead.

The gender one was "born into".
Generally speaking, this term should be avoided, as it can lead to assumptions that one's gender identity is somehow present at birth. Current studies disagree about when core gender identity develops, but it is unlikely that such a category exists discretely immediately at or after birth.

cancel culture
consequence culture
outrage culture
call-out culture
A form of boycott in which someone (usually a celebrity) who has shared a questionable or unpopular opinion, or has had behavior that is perceived to be offensive called out on social media is "canceled": they are completely boycotted by many fans, often leading to massive declines in celebrities' (almost always social media personalities) careers and fanbase.
"Cancel culture" tends to be a euphemism used by conservator (often far-right) commentators, especially in the United States. The term may be applied to brief media cycles of calling out transphobic, homophobic, or sexist words or actions, such as those of Louis C.K., R. Kelly, or Dave Chappelle, while not being applied to book banning or burning, such as the banning of Holocaust-related or LGBTQIA+-related media. It is effectively a double standard in this regard.
Note that the power and results of "cancel culture" can vary widely based on power dynamics. Oftentimes someone of celebrity or upper-class status can be called out for sexually assaulting someone of lower-class or non-celebrity status, but the results of which will often be temporary for the person of celebrity status, while the person of non-celebrity status will likely suffer negative consequences for the rest of their life, despite being the victim in this scenario.

Conway cited it as justification for a travel and immigration ban from seven Muslim-majority countries enacted by United States President Donald Trump. However, no such massacre occurred. The day after the interview, Conway said she misspoke and had been referring to the 2011 arrest of two Iraqi refugees in Bowling Green, Kentucky, on charges including "attempting to provide material support to terrorists and to al-Qaeda in Iraq".

As of the early 21st century, the "stereotypical bimbo" appearance became that of an attractive woman. It is often used to describe women who are blond, have curvaceous figures, heavy makeup, and revealing clothing. It is commonly associated with "the dumb blonde" stereotype.

The AIDS epidemic, caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), found its way to the United States as early as 1960, but was first noticed after doctors discovered clusters of Kaposi's sarcoma and pneumocystis pneumonia in gay men in Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco in 1981. Treatment of HIV/AIDS is primarily via a "drug cocktail" of antiretroviral drugs, and education programs to help people avoid infection.

The primary method used to measure an individual's endorsement of ambivalent sexism, created by Glick and Fiske in 1996. The ASI is a 22-item self-report measure of sexism on which respondents indicate their level of agreement with various statements, which are placed on a 6-point Likert scale. It is composed of two sub-scales that may be independently calculated for sub-scale scores or may be averaged for an overall composite sexism score. The first sub-scale is the hostile sexism scale, which is composed of 11 items designed to assess an individual's position on the dimensions of dominative paternalism, competitive gender differentiation, and heterosexual hostility, as previously defined. A sample item from the hostile sexism sub-scale is "Women are too easily offended." The second sub-scale is the benevolent sexism scale, which is composed of 11 items that aim to assess an individual's position on the dimensions of protective paternalism, complementary gender differentiation, and heterosexual intimacy, as previously defined. A sample item from the benevolent sexism sub-scale is "Women should be cherished and protected by men."

A proposed homosexuality test that would have been used in Gulf states to prevent any homosexual travelers from entering the countries. The director of public health Yousuf Mindkar from the Kuwaiti Ministry of Health initially proposed that routine medical examinations would have also screened for homosexuality. Obtaining a visa already requires passing a health examination for migrant workers from certain countries. Those who would have failed the tests would have had their visas revoked.
It has been suggested that concern for hosting 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, and fears for controversy in a case that football fans would have been screened, made Mindkar to backtrack the plans and insist that it was a mere proposal. The proposal was set to be discussed in Oman on 11 November 2013 by a central committee tasked with reviewing the situation concerning expatriates.

On June 12, 2016, Omar Mateen, a 29-year-old man, killed 49 people and wounded 53 more in a mass shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, United States. Orlando Police officers shot and killed him after a three-hour standoff. In a 9-1-1 call made shortly after the shooting began, Mateen swore allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and said the U.S. killing of Abu Waheeb in Iraq the previous month "triggered" the shooting.[2] He later told a negotiator he was "out here right now" because of the American-led interventions in Iraq and in Syria and that the negotiator should tell the United States to stop the bombing. The incident was deemed a terrorist attack by FBI investigators. Pulse was hosting a "Latin Night", and most of the victims were Latine. It is the deadliest incident in the history of violence against LGBTQ people in the United States, as well as the deadliest terrorist attack in the U.S. since the September 11 attacks in 2001, and was the deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman in U.S. history until the 2017 Las Vegas shooting.

Lemke's father was William Edward Lemke (usually written William E. Lemke, although once appearing as "William O. Lemke") of Sexauer & Lemke (along with Ernest Sexauer). His mother was Marie "Mary" A. P. Hille.
The circumstances surrounding Lemke's death were especially odd in 1919. He was found in the forward cabin of his cruiser strangled, with a bag on his head, and wearing feminine clothing. Lemke's parents believed that the incident was murder, while the police and Dr. Charles Norris (Chief Medical Examiner) believed that it was a suicide. Norris argued the "Lemke was a subject to transvestism (a desire to dress in clothes of the opposite sex)... It is a fact, Dr. Norris pointed out, that subjects of this psychopathic disorder frequently end their own lives unless their desires are satisfied." Because Lemke's death was officially labeled a suicide, he is listed under as such in this ontology.

The practice of groups of men who target overweight or obese women, typically for sexual encounters.

It is also important to notice that the term, along with gender identity disorder (GID), can and is also used to imply "minority mainstream view/practices" without negatively implying dysfunction or "wrongness", nor is it applicable to all people with a desire for castration, due to the highly diverse nature of reasons for volunteer castration.

gender transformation
A model of gender which is non-binary, having more than two genders along some type of spectrum.
The advantage of a "spectrum" as a metaphor for the wide varieties and understandings of gender is its ease of comparison to the electromagnetic spectrum, wherein only a small area constitutes visible light. Likewise, the gender spectrum is often extremely limited by society and by cisheteronormative gender ideals.

A conjectural mental illness that, in 1851, American physician Samuel A. Cartwright hypothesized as the cause of enslaved Africans fleeing captivity.

An affection for, or interest in things related to, Black persons.
Historically, "negrophilia" was considered a paraphilia, based on pseudoscientific ideology and scientific racism.

Roe v. Wade
A landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that sanctions of criminal punishment for those who commit sodomy are unconstitutional. The Court reaffirmed the concept of a "right to privacy" that earlier cases, such as Roe v. Wade, had found the U.S. Constitution provides, even though it is not explicitly enumerated. The Court based its ruling on the notions of personal autonomy to define one's own relationships and of American traditions of non-interference with private sexual decisions between consenting adults.

psychopathic
psychopathic personality
Although no psychiatric or psychological organization has sanctioned a diagnosis titled "psychopathy", assessments of psychopathic characteristics are widely used in criminal justice settings in some nations and may have important consequences for individuals. The study of psychopathy is an active field of research, and the term is also used by the general public, popular press, and in fictional portrayals. While the term is often employed in common usage along with "crazy", "insane", and "mentally ill", there is a categorical difference between psychosis and psychopathy.

Laboratory criteria separating AIDS-related complex (ARC) from AIDS include elevated or hyperactive B-cell humoral immune responses, compared to depressed or normal antibody reactivity in AIDS; follicular or mixed hyperplasia in ARC lymph nodes, leading to lymphocyte degeneration and depletion more typical of AIDS; evolving succession of histopathological lesions such as localization of Kaposi's sarcoma, signaling the transition to the full-blown AIDS.
AIDS related complex
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related complex
AIDS-related complex (ARC) is mostly a historical artifact of the earlier stages of the AIDS epidemic. Revised CDC criteria in the 1980s led to many with symptomatic HIV infections and disease symptoms without an official diagnosis. ARC was created as a category for these persons. However, these persons would mostly be recategorized as having AIDS later.

The different course of action that heart attacks usually follow for women than for men. This is a problem because much of medical research has focused primarily on symptoms of male heart attacks, and many women have died due to misdiagnosis because their symptoms present differently. The name is taken from the 1983 film Yentl starring Barbra Streisand in which her character plays the role of a male in order to receive the education she desires. The phrase was coined in a 1991 academic paper by Dr. Bernadine Healy titled "The Yentl syndrome."

the 123 words
So called because the DOD Directive 1332.14 (January 1981) (Enlisted Administrative Separations) also called "The Ban" contained 123 words, namely: "Homosexuality is incompatible with military service. The presence in the military environment of persons who engage in homosexual conduct or who, by their statements, demonstrate a propensity to engage in homosexual conduct, seriously impairs the accomplishment of the military mission. The presence of such members adversely affects the ability of the armed forces to maintain discipline, good order, and morale; to foster mutual trust and confidence among service members; to insure the integrity of the system of rank and command; to facilitate assignment and worldwide deployment of service members who frequently must live and work in close conditions affording minimal privacy; to recruit and retain members of the armed forces; to maintain the public acceptability of military service; and to prevent breaches of security".

The Lesbian & Gay Foundation
LGBT Foundation
A concept articulated by Harry Hay, representing the valuable mindset in same-sex relationships, emerging from the inherent similarities of the partners. The notion stands in contrast to the subject–object dynamic prevailing in heterosexual society, where men presume cultural dominance and see only themselves as subjects relative to women, who are in turn treated as objects or property. Hay extrapolated this interpersonal/sexual dynamic into a broader social context, believing that subject–object relationships were the root of society's ills. Objectification served as a barrier, emotionally separating an individual self from another individual by dehumanizing them. Same-sex relationships, however, suggest a different dynamic at work. Hay believed that gay relationships evolve from mutual respect and empathy for the other: a longing for a companion who is as equally valuable as the self, an interpersonal/sexual dynamic based on "subject–SUBJECT" consciousness. (Hay capitalized the second term for emphasis in all writings on the topic.) Hay believed that this subject–SUBJECT way of viewing the world is the most valuable contribution LGBTQIA+ people bring to society at large: by empathizing with all people, relating to each other as equal-to-equal, society can change drastically, and social justice can prevail.

A global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries—including all the great powers—forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. In a state of total war, directly involving more than 100 million people from more than 30 countries, the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history, marked by 70 to 85 million fatalities. Tens of millions of people died due to genocides (including the Holocaust), premeditated death from starvation, massacres, and disease.

The study concluded that the chemical was a likely contributor to global amphibian declines.

A pseudoscientific conspiracy theory which purports that autism derives from the application of vaccines. Extensive investigation into vaccines and autism has shown that there is no relationship between the two, causal or otherwise, and that vaccine ingredients do not cause autism. Vaccinologist Peter Hotez researched the growth of the false claim and concluded that its spread originated with Andrew Wakefield's fraudulent 1998 paper, with no prior paper supporting a link. Despite the scientific consensus for the absence of a relationship, the retracted paper and the anti-vaccination movement at large continue to promote myths, conspiracy theories, and misinformation linking the two.

A term that was first used by Henry L. Kazal and colleagues in 1976 to describe various sexually transmitted rectal infections seen in Kazal's proctology practice, which had many gay patients. The term is considered obsolete as the issues it describes are not gay-specific, confined to the bowel, nor a syndrome. In 2005, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control described the term as informal and no longer in use.

Kempf classified this condition as an acute pernicious dissociative disorder, meaning that it involved a disruption in typical perception and memory functions of an individual. In the psychiatrist's honour, the condition has come to also be known as "Kempf's disease". It is no longer recognized by the DSM.
Kempf's disease
homosexual panic
A mostly historical term used to refer to homosexual sexual activity in which at least one participant does not identify as gay, but who supposedly engages in such behavior due to an absence of heterosexual partners. For instance, in prisons, boarding schools, military bases, ships at sea, convents and monasteries, etc. This conceptualization often oversimplifies matters, ignoring situations which are nonconsensual, those in which comfortable experimentation may take place, and those in which admitting that one identifies as non-heterosexual might be dangerous. Therefore, it has fallen out of use.
behavioral bisexuality
accidental homosexuality
emergency homosexuality
functional homosexuality

A term used in Myanmar to describe those who are assigned male at birth (AMAB) who identify openly as women and are attracted to men.

In 1971, five high school students in San Rafael, California, used the term "4:20" in connection with a plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop, based on a treasure map made by the grower. Calling themselves the Waldos, because their typical hang-out spot "was a wall outside the school", the five students (Steve Capper, Dave Reddix, Jeffrey Noel, Larry Schwartz, and Mark Gravich) designated the Louis Pasteur statue on the grounds of San Rafael High School as their meeting place, and 4:20 pm as their meeting time. The Waldos referred to this plan with the phrase "4:20 Louis". After several failed attempts to find the crop, the group eventually shortened their phrase to "4:20", which ultimately evolved into a code-word the teens used to refer to consuming cannabis.

transgender nazi myth
The transphobic claim that trans women and transfeminine people are "socialized" as male or as men. However, this typically ignores the lived experiences of such people who were forced to act in a particular manner in which their childhoods and adolescences were lost to socialization. Additionally, this argument is usually used fallaciously to imply that trans women and transfeminine people have "male privilege". This is, in turn used to police any action that a trans woman or transfeminine person takes as unfeminine or manly. For instance, if a trans woman speaks up about the discrimination or oppression they face, they may be berated for speaking too loudly or acting too angry, which are not seen as "feminine" traits.

The term refers to how many trans women grow up without parental figures and with severe trauma as a result of compound epidemics among transgender elders of the previous generation (HIV, suicide, homicide, substance abuse, and invisibility, to name a few). This phenomenon was then used by Peters to describe what has been called "triple T" or transgender imposter syndrome in the past, i.e. the idea that "You're not doing trans right. You're embarassing as a trans woman to us other trans women."

A 2021 social media trend and transphobic hate campaign. Those involved use terms common among the LGBTQIA+ community to self-identify as "super straight", which they is claimed as a sexuality which excludes transgender people from their dating preferences.

Robin Tran, a comedian and trans woman, claimed the term had been stolen from a stand-up show she performed in 2017, where she used it to describe straight men who love trans women.
The term, first coined by TikTok user Kyle Royce, later spread to 4chan, where internet trolls, trans-exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs), and neo-Nazis accelerated the growth of the hate campaign.
super straight
I made a new sexuality, now, actually, it's called super straight, ok? Since straight people or straight men, as myself, I get called transphobic because I wouldn't date a trans woman, you know they're like, "would you date a trans woman" I'm like, "no," "why? That's a female." "Uh, no, like that's not a real woman to me, like I want real women," "nah, you're just transphobic." So now, I'm super straight, I only date the opposite gender, women, that are born women, so you can't say I'm transphobic now, because that's just my sexuality.

A metaphorical term applied to reference the ideological dispute over whether or not the term "TERF" (shortened from "trans-exclusionary radical feminist") is a slur.
trans-exclusionary radical feminist wars
It is of note, that the scale of power relations in the so-called "TERF wars" is unbalanced. While cisgender women face little to no potential harms, transgender women risk their entire identities and oftentimes lives in these "debates". Many TERF-related talking points have found their way into mainstream right-wing media and have been used to reduce or eliminate existing rights for transgender persons.
This ontology classifies slurs as such if they fulfill all three criteria for a slur as laid out by linguists Christopher Davis and Elin McCready: it must be derogatory towards a particular group, it must be used to subordinate them within some structure of power relations, and the derogated group must be defined by an intrinsic property. TERF satisfies the first condition, fails the third condition, and its positionality on the second condition is dubious.
TERF wars
A reductivist epithet utilized by trans-exclusionary radical feminists (most notably Abigail Shrier, in her book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze) and right-wing pundits. The term erroneously presumes that recent (last 2-3 decades) increase in the number of transgender persons is due to some social contagion, rather than the empirically demonstrated result of transgender visibility in that time frame.

Snopes reported in 2017 that the graphic which primarily promoted the false flag stemmed from a 4chan misinformation campaign from 2016.
Some people do include the letter "P" in the LGBTQIA+ acronym, but it stands for "pansexual" and/or "pangender", not "pedosexual".
"pedosexual" false flag
A potential transgender false flag (or simply a story meant to be portrayed as a humorous and sarcastic "that happened"-type story, it is unclear precisely) posted to Tumblr by user ForeverHonest on 4 April 2015. ForeverHonest claimed that a "bunch of people" with "Down with Cis" shirts "climbed out [of a bus] and started beating him [ForeverHonest's friend] up... I was punched and kicked a bit too". A year after the post was made ForeverHonest admitted it was a made-up story for the purpose of satire.

male flight
A concept with differing definitions, usually held up against the concept of a glass ceiling. Rivera and Owens (2018) described the glass floor as preventing "women low in stereotypically masculine skills from falling below a certain scoring threshold". Daniel laurison and Sam Friedman used the term to describe the socioeconomic barrier to becoming a scientist in the United Kingdom. Nick Clements (2014) described the term as referring to men saying: "There is a glass floor (people not even entering the industry) for men in the healthcare and primary education professions. According to recent figures one in ten nurses are male, this figure has remained static for the past four years. In primary schools, one in four schools have no male staff".

straggot
straggots
A phrase used by transphobic persons or hate groups which mirrors the phrasing of "the Jewish question" or "the Jewish problem", which referred to a series of "national questions" relating to the status of Jews in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries (as well as present-day). These "questions" were and are poised in such a way as to sound to uninformed persons as neutral, while subtly pushing extremist viewpoints as "balanced". The "Jewish question" ideology was used to push Jewish quotas, segregation, assimilation, and genocide, through the Nazi phrase "the Final Solution to the Jewish Question". Groups which utilize rhetoric such as "the transgender question" or "the solution to the transgender problem", should be immediately suspect.

A signal term often used by transphobic groups or persons to refer to the informed consent model (ICM) for transgender care. However, this is a misconception of the model, as the ICM website clearly states "the WPATH-SOC does not preclude obtaining patient informed consent, nor does the ICM advocate neglecting clinical judgment or providing surgeries or 'hormones on demand'."
Oftentimes, medical gatekeeping can keep trans people from receiving hormone replacement therapy for periods of several years. It is a misconception that hormones are always available for everyone "on demand".
"hormones on demand"
Any of various signal terms by transphobic individuals or groups which intend to either to portray trans people as mentally ill or delusional, in order to deny that their gender identities are real.

A false claim sometimes made by trans-exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs) which asserts that trans people are responsible for fewer people identifying as lesbian. However, more people openly identify as lesbian today than ever have in the past. The idea of a "lesbian extinction" is similar to that of the similarly offensive and untrue assertion of "butch flight".

A 2016 social media campaign by Transgender India which intended to separate transgender persons stigma from the cultural stigma often associated with hijra on the Indian subcontinent. Reactions to the campaign within the trans and hijra communities were divisive. Activist Rōmal Lāisram summarized the arguments made by the campaign and its detractors by saying: "While I am totally for the non-homogenising of the trans experience and I'm constantly trying to bring other trans identities to the forefront (especially since the Hijra community is not native to Karnātaka, TN, Kerala or Andhra Pradesh)... I'm not too sure such negative stereotyping of the Hijra community (or the term) is called for. Can there never be a middle ground in this movement? Does every identity have to claim its space only by defaming the other?"
"I Am Not a Hijra" campaign
Violence against gay (and suspected to be gay) persons in Uganda around the time of discussions surrounding The Anti-Homosexuality Act of 2014 (known colloquially as the "Kill the Gays" bill), which had been ideologically centered around Christian Fundamentalism in the United States.

An act passed by the Parliament of Uganda on 20 December 2013, which prohibited sexual relations between persons of the same sex. The act was previously called the "Kill the Gays bill" in the western mainstream media due to death penalty clauses proposed in the original version, but the penalty was later amended to life in prison. The bill was signed into law by the President of Uganda Yoweri Museveni on 24 February 2014. On 1 August 2014, however, the Constitutional Court of Uganda ruled the act invalid on procedural grounds.

agi
agî
A moral panic consisting of over 12,000 unsubstantiated cases of Satanic ritual abuse tarting in the United States in the 1980s, spreading throughout many parts of the world by the late 1990s, and persisting today. The panic originated in 1980 with the publication of Michelle Remembers, a book co-written by Canadian psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder and his patient (and future wife), Michelle Smith, which used the discredited practice of recovered-memory therapy to make sweeping lurid claims about satanic ritual abuse involving Smith. The allegations which afterwards arose throughout much of the United States involved reports of physical and sexual abuse of people in the context of occult or Satanic rituals. In its most extreme form, allegations involve a conspiracy of a global Satanic cult that includes the wealthy and powerful world elite in which children are abducted or bred for human sacrifices, pornography, and prostitution.
Satanic panic
Legal action by the US government and moral panic against the radical environmental movement. It alludes to the Red Scares, periods of fear over communist infiltration of US society. The term was popularized by environmental activists. It is first known to have appeared in 2002 in the wake of the February 12 congressional hearings titled "The Threat of Eco-Terrorism", which discussed groups including the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) and the Animal Liberation Front (ALF). The spring edition of the prisoner support zine Spirit of Freedom defined the term as "the tactics that the US government and all their tentacles (FBI, IRS, BATF, Joint Terrorism Task Forces, local police, the court system) are using to attack the ELF/ALF and specifically those who publicly support them." The term has been used by activists to describe a sweep of arrests, convictions and grand jury indictments of ELF and ALF operatives on charges relating to acts of property damage, conspiracy, arson and use of destructive devices.
Green Scare
Any of various promotions of a widespread fear of a potential rise of communism, anarchism or other leftist ideologies by a society or state. The term is most often used to refer to two periods in the history of the United States which are referred to by this name. The First Red Scare, which occurred immediately after World War I, revolved around a perceived threat from the American labor movement, anarchist revolution, and political radicalism. The Second Red Scare, which occurred immediately after World War II, was preoccupied with the perception that national or foreign communists were infiltrating or subverting U.S. society and the federal government. The name refers to the red flag as a common symbol of communism.

Red Scares
Any of various municipalities and regions of Poland that have declared themselves unwelcoming of an alleged "LGBT ideology", in order to ban equality marches and other LGBT events. By June 2020, some 100 municipalities and five voivodships, encompassing a third of the country, had adopted resolutions which have been characterized as "LGBT-free zones". In September 2021, four of the voivodships withdrew the measures, after the EU threatened to withhold funding. Most of the adopted resolutions were lobbied for by an ultra-conservative Catholic organisation, Ordo Iuris. While unenforceable and primarily symbolic, the declarations represent an attempt to stigmatize LGBT people. The Economist considers the zones "a legally meaningless gimmick with the practical effect of declaring open season on gay people". In a December 2020 report, the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights stated that "Far from being merely words on paper, these declarations and charters directly impact the lives of LGBTI people in Poland."

On 7 August 2020, a protest against the arrest of LGBTQ activist Margot led to a confrontation with police in central Warsaw and resulted in the arrest of 47 others, some of whom were protesting and others who were bystanders to the event, dubbed "Polish Stonewall" in an analogy to the 1969 Stonewall riots. Declarations of LGBT-free zones in 2019 and 2020 and the 2020 Polish presidential election—which saw President Andrzej Duda repeatedly stress his opposition to LGBTQ rights—have led to protest from LGBTQ rights activists, who adopted direct action tactics. On 7 August, a court granted a request for Margot's pre-trial detention for two months. She presented herself for arrest while hundreds of sympathizers protested the arrest. The police initially declined to arrest her, but later tried to do so and were physically, but non-violently blocked by activists. The police then arrested 48 people: Margot, protestors, and others who had not taken part in the demonstration.

On Sunday 16 August, nationalist demonstrators held a demonstration in Krakowskie Przedmieście, near the main gate of the University of Warsaw, called "Stop LGBT aggression" ("Przeciw agresji LGBT" or "Stop agresji LGBT"). Demonstrators burned a rainbow flag—which counter-demonstrators stated was stolen from them—and shouted, "Away with deviation" and "How's Margot?" On the nationalist side, All-Polish Youth leader Ziemowit Przebitkowski, MP Krzysztof Bosak (Confederation) and anti-abortion activist Kaja Godek gave speeches. A counter-demonstration was attended by The Greens MPs Marek Kossakowski [pl] and Małgorzata Tracz, as well as Civic Coalition's MP Franciszek Sterczewski and The Left MP Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk. A heavy police presence kept both groups strictly separated from each other. Prior to the demonstration, someone had painted a rainbow on the street, which police said was an unknown substance that posed a threat to vehicle traffic.

A rally held at the Hawthorne Bridge in the American West Coast city of Portland, Oregon, on May 29, 2011. The demonstration was in response to an attack, one week earlier, on Brad Forkner and Christopher Rosevear, a gay male couple who had been holding hands while walking across the bridge. According to the couple and the Portland Police Bureau, a group of five men followed Forkner and Rosevear along the bridge before physically assaulting them. The assault was condemned by Portland's mayor, Sam Adams, and its police chief, Mike Reese, and news of the attack spread throughout the Pacific Northwest and the United States. The attack prompted volunteers from the Q Center, a nonprofit organization that supports the LGBT community, to form street patrols as a means of monitoring Portland's downtown area.

During the lead-up to the 2014 Winter Olympics, protests and campaigns arose surrounding the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in Russia. Concerns for LGBTQ athletes and supporters during the Games began as early as March 2012, when a Russian judge blocked the establishment of a Pride House in Sochi, ruling that "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships" would "undermine the security of Russian society", and that it conflicted with public morality and the country's policies "in the area of family motherhood and childhood protection." The majority of protests, however, centred on the passing of a law in June 2013, which banned the distribution of "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships" among minors. The propaganda law had been characterized by the Western media and other critics as a ban on "gay propaganda", arguing that it was broad enough to ban any public display of LGBTQ symbols and suppress LGBTQ culture. The law itself was also considered to have caused an increase in homophobic violence, and an increase in the arrest of pro-LGBTQ protesters.

A large political rally that took place in Washington, D.C. on April 25, 1993. Organizers estimated that 1,000,000 attended the March. The D.C. Police Department put the number between 800,000 and more than 1 million, making it one of the largest protests in American history. The National Park Service estimated attendance at 300,000, but their figure attracted so much negative attention that it shortly thereafter stopped issuing attendance estimates for similar events.
March on Washington for Lesbian, Gay and Bi Equal Rights and Liberation
An event to raise awareness and visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people and issues of LGBTQ rights in the US, it was held April 28 through April 30, 2000 in Washington, D.C. A march from the Washington Monument to the front lawn of the United States Capitol took place on April 30, where the crowd was addressed by several members of Congress and, via video, by President Bill Clinton. Estimates of attendance ranged from 200,000 to 1 million people. The event was criticized for a lack of inclusiveness and political focus as well as concerns over financial accountability. Allegations of theft from a vendor and severe financial mismanagement arose after the event. The final accounting showed the event ended with $330,000 in unpaid debt. In terms of the expense per participant, it was the least cost-efficient of any national LGBTQ march to date.
Millennium March on Washington
A national LGBTQ march which occurred on June 11, 2017, in conjunction with Washington, D.C.'s annual pride parade, Capital Pride. The event was organized by New York gay activist David Bruinooge. By late January 2017, more than 50,000 people had expressed interest in attending the event on its Facebook page. The march also commemorated the 49 victims of the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting. Thousands gathered for the march in Washington, D.C., which went past the White House and on toward the U.S. Capitol.

National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights
A large political rally that took place in Washington, D.C., on October 11, 1987. Its success, size, scope, and historical importance have led to it being called, "The Great March". It marked the first national coverage of ACT UP, with AIDS activists prominent in the main march, as well as making headlines the next day during mass civil disobedience actions at the United States Supreme Court Building.
Second National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights
A national political rally that occurred October 11, 2009 in Washington, D.C. It called for equal protection for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The march was called for by activist David Mixner and implemented by Cleve Jones, and organized by Equality Across America and the Courage Campaign. Kip Williams and Robin McGehee served as co-directors. Leaders like actress Michelle Clunie, Courage Campaign marketing director, Billy Pollina and New York gubernatorial aide Peter Yacobellis hosted the first fundraiser in the spring of 2009. This was the first national march in Washington, D.C. for LGBTQ rights since the 2000 Millennium March.
National Equality March
Any of a series of early pickets organized by LGBTQ organizations, held yearly from 1965 through 1969. The Reminder took place each July 4 at Independence Hall in Philadelphia and were among the earliest LGBTQ demonstrations in the United States. The events were designed to inform and remind the American people that LGBTQ people did not enjoy basic civil rights protections. The Reminders were held each year from 1965 through 1969, with the final picket taking place shortly after the June 28 Stonewall riots, considered the flashpoint of the modern gay liberation movement. Reminder organizers decided to discontinue the July 4 pickets at this point, and shifted their focus to organizing the Christopher Street Liberation Day demonstration held June 28, 1970, to commemorate the anniversary of the riot. This became the first Gay Pride Parade.

Featured speakers included trans rights activist and actress Angelica Ross, trans rights activist Ashlee Marie Preston and Human Rights Campaign president Alphonso David. Over 5,600 people attended the march.
National Trans Visibility March
A raid by the Metropolitan Toronto Police against four gay bathhouses in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, which took place on February 5, 1981. Just less than three hundred men were arrested, the largest mass arrest in Canada since the 1970 October crisis, before the record was broken during the 2006 Stanley Cup Playoffs in Edmonton, Alberta. Although many gay bathhouses had previously been raided in Canada and other smaller raids followed, Operation Soap is considered a special turning point in the history of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community in Canada; the raids and their aftermath are today widely considered to be the Canadian equivalent of the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City. Mass protests and rallies were held denouncing the incident. These evolved into Toronto's current Pride Week, which is now one of the world's largest gay pride festivals and celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2015.

On 9 September 1971 the UK Gay Liberation Front (GLF) undertook an action to disrupt the launch of the Church-based morality campaign, Nationwide Festival of Light at the Methodist Central Hall, Westminster. A number of well-known British figures were involved in the disrupted rally, and the action involved the use of "radical drag" drawing on the Stonewall riots and subsequent GLF actions in the USA. Peter Tatchell, gay human rights campaigner, was involved in the action which was one of a series which influenced the development of gay activism in the UK, received media attention at the time, and is still discussed by some of those involved.

The first large scale gay rights demonstration in Canada. The rally occurred on August 28, 1971 in Ottawa, and was organized by the gay rights activist groups Toronto Gay Action (TGA) and Community Homophile Association of Toronto (CHAT). There was a parallel rally in Vancouver that was organized in solidarity with the rally by the Vancouver group Gay Alliance Toward Equality (GATE). The rally plays an important part in the history of queer equity-seeking and gay rights in Canada, as well as the history of feminism in Canada, and has had a lasting legacy in Canadian gay rights activism.
We Demand Rally
On August 28, 2011, a commemorative march organized by Queer Ontario called We Still Demand was held on Parliament Hill. The march was both celebrating reforms which have won since the original rally and protesting continued inequality and issues, such as having police at Pride events and LGBTQ homelessness.

When four Navy servicemen jumped the bouncer at Milwaukee's Black Nite gay bar, drag performer Josie Carter used beer bottles to fight off the men attacking her husband, sending two to the hospital. The remaining Navy servicemen left to round up additional servicemen and returned to the bar for revenge. They were met with a counterattack of more than 70 LGBTQ patrons who fought back in what became known as the Black Nite Brawl. The interior of the bar was largely destroyed and three people were hospitalized. Milwaukee police, who had beaten a gay man to death during a park raid only a year earlier, arrested the attackers and did not arrest bar patrons.
Black Nite Brawl
On April 25, 1965, the first of two historic Sit-ins occurred at the popular Dewey's Restaurant in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was one of the earliest demonstrations advocating for the LGBTQ community in United States history. Three unidentified teenagers and approximately 150 supporters walked into the Dewey's location at 219 South 17th Street, refusing to leave in the name of civil rights. This initial sit-in was in response to Dewey's recently implemented discriminatory policy claiming it would not serve "homosexuals," "masculine women," "feminine men," nor "persons wearing nonconformist clothing." Philadelphia police arrested the three teenagers, which led to further grass-roots action. Clark Polak, president of the local Janus Society, extended support to the protesters. Members of the Janus Society and other supporters circulated approximately 1500 flyers throughout the local area over the next five days. On May 2, 1965, protesters staged a second sit-in at Dewey's, although this time there were no arrests. Soon after the second sit-in, Dewey's Restaurant reversed their policy against LGBTQ individuals. The Dewey's sit-ins helped continue the path towards equal rights for many LGBTQ people in the United States.

A series of ideological conflicts characterized by anti-porn feminist and sex-positive feminist groups with disagreements regarding sexuality, including pornography, erotica, prostitution, lesbian sexual practices, the role of transgender women in the lesbian community, sadomasochism and other sexual matters. The feminist movement was deeply divided as a result of these debates. Many historians view the feminist sex wars as having been the end of the second-wave feminist era (which began c. 1963) as well as the herald of the third wave (which began in the early 1990s).

No clear result other than the existence of a "masculine continuum" was achieved, and to this day it is not uncommon for self-proclaimed lesbians to date transgender men, conceptualizing them as extremely butch lesbians. Such thinking is often considered transphobic.

The SAM states that for some, sexual attraction and romantic attraction are two different things. For example, an asexual may feel romantic attraction, and an aromantic may feel sexual attraction. In those cases the asexual- or aromantic-spectrum individual may describe their identity using the SAM in order to express both aspects of their identity.

The practice is illegal in the United States. Predominantly male casting directors and film producers use the casting couch to extract sex from aspiring actors in Hollywood, Bollywood, Broadway, and other segments of the industry. The term casting couch originally referred to physical couches in the casting office, but is now a metonym for the phenomenon as a whole. Depictions of casting couch sexual encounters have also become a genre of pornography.

A term used in Japan to describe young men who express little interest in getting married or being assertive in relationships with women. The term was coined by the author Maki Fukasawa, who initially intended for it to describe a new form of masculinity that was not reliant on the proactivity and assertiveness typically associated with masculinity in Japan. Philosopher Masahiro Morioka defines herbivore men as "kind and gentle men who, without being bound by manliness, do not pursue romantic relationships voraciously and have no aptitude for being hurt or hurting others." The term was quickly sensationalized by the media, gaining a negative connotation suggesting young men who had lost their "manliness" were responsible for Japan's declining birth rate and stagnating economy. Through mass media, the label of herbivore man came to be associated with irresponsible, overly feminine men who cared too much about their appearances rather than marriage or finding a stable job, which were seen as traditionally masculine goals. The definition of herbivore men is still debated because of this, making it difficult to estimate how many men in Japan identify as herbivore men, particularly considering the social stigma associated with the term.

A strike organized in September 2006 by dozens of wives and girlfriends of gang members from Pereira, Colombia, to curb gang violence, in response to 480 deaths due to gang violence in the coffee region. According to spokeswoman Jennifer Bayer, the specific target of the strike was to force gang members to turn in their weapons in compliance with the law. According to them, many gang members were involved in violent crime for status and sexual attractiveness, and the strike sent the message that refusing to turn in the guns was not sexy. In 2010 the city's murder rate saw the steepest decline in Colombia, down by 26.5%.

A sex strike held by Kenyan female activists in 2009 to end the deteriorating relationship between the country's President, Mwai Kibaki, and Prime Minister, Raila Odinga, who agreed to share leadership powers in Kenya. There was a seven-day sex strike, which involved thousands of women and the wives of both the Prime Minister and President, who vowed to withhold sex from their partner. This sex strike was aimed at forcing the leaders to reconcile as they had different views on how Kenya should be run as well as issued conflicting policies that did not focus on urgent issues that mattered in Kenya such as dealing with corruption and poverty.

It was the first such bathroom bill to be passed in a state legislature in the U.S. and sparked a chain of similar bills across the nation. HB 1008 was opposed by several LGBTQIA+ rights organizations, such as the HRC, GLSEN, and ACLU.

Schwanz
German slang term for the penis.
Ancient Greek term literally translating as "a male who lies with males"; thought to refer to a man who has sexual relations with other men, typically engaging in such activities as the individual being penetrated. However, it should be noted that the term does not appear in any Ancient Greek manuscripts, and may have been coined in the Septuagint (LXX), within Leviticus 18:22 or 20:13. Over centuries, many scholars have given it alternative meanings: in 1975, Bailey described it as referring to those engaged in activities considered homosexual in nature; in 1980, Boswell said the term referred to male prostitutes; in 1983, Scroggs interpreted the term as referring to pederasty considered abusive; and in 1996, Martin argued that the etymology of the term was entirely false and that the term has nothing to do with homosexuality.

A slang term associated with the pornography industry describing anal sex immediately followed by oral sex. The term is primarily used to describe a sexual practice whereby an erect penis is removed from a receptive partner's anus and then directly put into his or her mouth, or possibly the mouth of another.
The sexual practice of inflicting blunt force trauma to the back of the head or lower back of the receiving partner during anal or vaginal sex as an attempt by the penetrating partner to induce involuntary tightening of internal or external anal sphincter muscles or vaginal passage of the receiving partner. According to Jeffrey Bahr of Medical College of Wisconsin, there is no reflex in humans that would cause such tensing in response to a blow on the head, although striking a partner on the back of the neck or head could cause severe, even lethal injury.

A variant form of the philosophical trolley problem, stated as follows: "An unknown number of trans people have been tied to one of the train tracks, while a runaway trolley is set to roll down the empty track, saving the trans people.

This framing seems to reference the overwhelmingly small number of people who desist from a particular gender identity following gender transition.

A Canadian playwright and filmmaker. Butler was born in 1959 in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. He is a Two-Spirit trans man.
Albert D. J. Cashier was an Irish-born immigrant who served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Cashier adopted the identity of a man before enlisting, and maintained it for the remainder of his life. Albert became famous as one of a number of women soldiers who served as men during the Civil War, although the consistent and long-term (at least 53 years) commitment to the male identity has prompted some contemporary scholars to suggest that Cashier was a trans man. On 5 May 1911, Cashier was moved to the Soldiers and Sailors home in Quincy, Illinois until his mental state deteriorated and he was moved to the Watertown State Hospital for the Insane in March 1914. Attendants at the Watertown State Hospital discovered that he had female genitalia when giving him a bath, at which point he was forced to wear women's clothes again after fifty years living as a man. Within six months he was dead.
Despite living nearly a century before the term "transgender" was coined, various scholars have suggested, in part because Cashier lived committed to his male identity for at least 53 years, that he was a transgender man.

A Jewish German essayist of high stylistic originality and a political (namely pacifist) journalist from a Jewish family. An openly gay communist, he was deeply influenced by Immanuel Kant and Arthur Schopenhauer, despising the philosophy of G. W. F. Hegel, which made him quite unpopular with Marxists. Hiller was also an influential writer in the early German gay rights movement in the first two decades of the 20th century. In 1929, Hiller took over as chairman of the Scientific Humanitarian Committee from fellow gay activist Magnus Hirschfeld.
A Swiss psychologist known for his work on child development. Piaget's theory of cognitive development and epistemological view are together called "genetic epistemology".

Georgia (Republic)
A Eurasian country in the Caucasus located at the east coast of the Black Sea. In the north, Georgia has a 723 km common border with Russia, specifically with the Northern Caucasus federal district. The following Russian republics/subdivisions: from west to east: border Georgia: Krasnodar Krai, Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria, North Ossetia-Alania, Ingushetia, Chechnya, Dagestan. Georgia also shares borders with Azerbaijan (322 km) to the south-east, Armenia (164 km) to the south, and Turkey (252 km) to the south-west. It is a transcontinental country, located at the juncture of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. Georgia is divided into 9 regions, 2 autonomous republics (avtonomiuri respublika), and 1 city (k'alak'i). The regions are further subdivided into 69 districts (raioni).

People who have body integrity dysphoria have oftentimes been incorrectly compared to transgender people who seek surgery as both user similar metaphors to describe their conditions: "born into the wrong body" and "having a part not of their true self", for instance. This may have led to the coining of "body integrity dysphoria" (being akin to gender dysphoria). However, it is important to consider major differences between the two, including the major umbrellla of transgender identity entirely unconnected to surgical procedures and the kinds of procedures undergone by transgender people and the reasonings for them undergoing such procedures.

Note that some who experience "body integrity dysphoria" may utilize terminology such as "transabled", "transability", or "transableism". Depending on context, this may be considered offensive and appropriative when considering persons with disabilities.
It has been suggested that, because the dysphoric aspects of "body integrity dysphoria" do not tend to outweigh amputation desire, that "dysphoria" may not be an adequate term for this condition.

Transgender people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their assigned sex. In some select cases, transgender people are sometimes called transsexual if they desire medical assistance to transition from one sex to another. "Transgender" is also an umbrella term: in addition to including people whose gender identity is the opposite of their assigned sex (trans men and trans women), it may include people who are not exclusively masculine or feminine (people who are genderqueer or non-binary, including bigender, pangender, genderfluid, or agender). Other definitions of transgender also include people who belong to a third gender, or else conceptualize transgender people as a third gender.
"Transgender" is an adjective and should not be formed into a collective noun. This terminology is often used by anti-transgender activists aiming to dehumanize transgender people.
transgender
पारलैंगिक
"Transgender" and its derivatives ("transgender male", "transgender female", "transgender woman", "transgender man", etc.) are generally not considered genders and/or gender identities. Listing "male" separate from "transgender male" or listing "transgender" separate from "male"/"female" is transphobic in the sense that it denies a transgender person's gender, forcing them to choose in an unclear situation, and implies that they are somehow deviant from "normal" maleness/femaleness. A few transgender persons still utilize these terms in identifying, however, but an "other (please specify)" option is much more functional in this regard (as well as a "select all that apply" for gender/gender identity).

Intersex is an umbrella term with a complex history. It is usually used to refer to persons with congenital conditions which involve differences in the many intertwined processes of sexual development.
It is important to note that some transgender persons are intersex, but not all, and vice versa. Terms like "ultergender" and "ipsogender" help clarify the ways these terms might overlap. While some studies have purported that small segments of the trans community might have traits that some consider intersex, the association of transgender with intersex in absolutes is often linked to transmedicalist ideologies. The Transgender Professional Association for Transgender Health (TPATH) notes in its guidelines: "While it may be appropriate to discuss intersections of intersex and trans experience, please do not erase the specificity of intersex experiences, for instance through conflating intersex with trans... In discussing these issues, we ask that endosexual transgender (i.e. not intersex) participants recognize their privilege in, for instance, not having faced the risk of infant genital mutilation or other non-consensual medical interventions during childhood."

unspecified paraphilic disorder
other specified paraphilic disorder
The American Psychiatric Association notes that most atypical sexual interests, while possibly considered paraphilic, do not constitute a mental health problem and thus are not considered paraphilic disorders. For example, in a paraphilic disorder, the psychological distress one feels about their paraphilic desire must be distinct from the general societal or cultural disapproval of such a desire.

A term usually used to refer to a castrated person assigned male at birth (depending on the exact person they may or may not have had a male gender identity). Notably though, some sources simply used the term to refer to palace officials who may or may not have been castrated males. Alternatively used to refer to modern persons who identify as eunuchs.

lavender
A pale purple color, like that of the lavender flower. Lavender become symbol of homosexuality in the 1950s and 1960s, just as the color mauve was in the 1890s.
A term implying homosexuality in most contexts; a chapter in Gene Fowler's "The Great Mouthpiece" (1931), for instance, concerning the imputed homosexuality of a prominent penologist, is called "An Allegation in Lavender"; and novels and anthologies on Lesbianism, such as "Diana" (1939) and "The Imitation of Sappho" (1930) are bound in lavender cloth, although there may be some connection here with "purple passion." There are said to be "saven recognized stages of homosexuality, from ga ga to the 'deeper tones' of lavender." See "ga-ga" for further elucidation. To have a dash (or streak) of lavender means to be somewhat homosexual or to have a tendency toward becoming more so or entirely so; often contracted to have a dash.

A cultural practice in parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan, in which some families without sons will pick a daughter to live and behave as a boy. This enables the child to behave more freely: attending school, escorting her sisters in public, and working.

A slang term in Afghanistan for a wide variety of activities involving sexual relations between older men and younger adolescent men, or boys. The practitioner is commonly called bacha baz (meaning "boy play" in Dari) or simply bach. It may include to some extent sexual slavery and child prostitution.

gender variance
"Gender non-conforming" and "gender diverse" are often preferred to "gender variant" because "gender variant" (and, by extension, "gender variance") implies a standard normative for gender (i.e. a way gender is "supposed to be"). However, many resources emply the term as a helpful "catch-all" for various transgender and cultural gender roles and identities.

camp

Camp can also be a social practice and function as a style and performance identity for several types of entertainment including film, cabaret, and pantomime. Where high art necessarily incorporates beauty and value, camp necessarily needs to be lively, audacious and dynamic.
To speak, act, or in any way attract or attempt to attract attention, especially if noisily, flamboyantly, bizarrely, or in any other way calculated to announce, express, or burlesque one's own homosexuality or that of any other person. As a NOUN, camp refers to flamboyance or bizarrerie of speech or action, or to a person displaying it. The VERBAL NOUN, camping, is very common; it should be noticed that camping is largely a practice of male homosexuals, and is not very common among Lesbians. ADJECTIVE: campy.
An aesthetic style and sensibility that regards something as appealing because of its bad taste and ironic value. Camp aesthetics disrupt many of modernism's notions of what art is and what can be classified as high art by inverting aesthetic attributes such as beauty, value, and taste through an invitation of a different kind of apprehension and consumption.

Reactions to Latinx as a neologism have been mixed, with the most criticism coming from native Spanish speakers. There tends to be a generational and regional divide among supporters and critics of the term, with more support among young people in the United States, and more criticism among older generations, and from those outside the United States. Similar words used for this purpose include Chicanx, Latin@ and Latine. A 2019 poll found that 2% of Americans of Latin American descent preferred to use 'Latinx', and 3% of 18-34 year olds. Latine has since become the more preferred term, as it has more of a linguistic basis in Spanish than "Latinx" or "Latin@".

pink
A pale tint of red that is named after a flower of the same name. It was first used as a color name in the late 17th century. According to surveys in Europe and the United States, pink is the color most often associated with charm, politeness, sensitivity, tenderness, sweetness, childhood, femininity and romance. A combination of pink and white is associated with chastity and innocence, whereas a combination of pink and black links to eroticism and seduction.
Any of a group of colors reddish in hue, of medium to high lightness, and of low to moderate saturation.
Surveys in the US and Europe show that blue is the color most commonly associated with harmony, faithfulness, confidence, distance, infinity, the imagination, cold, and sometimes with sadness. In US and European public opinion polls it is the most popular color, chosen by almost half of both men and women as their favourite color. The same surveys also showed that blue was the color most associated with the masculine, just ahead of black, and was also the color most associated with intelligence, knowledge, calm and concentration.
The hue of that portion of the visible spectrum lying between green and indigo, evoked in the human observer by radiant energy with wavelengths of approximately 420 to 490 nanometers; any of a group of colors that may vary in lightness and saturation, whose hue is that of a clear daytime sky.
One of the three primary colors of pigments in painting and traditional color theory, as well as in the RGB color model. It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colors; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering. An optical effect called Tyndall scattering explains blue eyes. Distant objects appear more blue because of another optical effect called aerial perspective.

The term "Two Spirit" was adopted by consensus in 1990 at an international gay and lesbian Indigenous gathering as a replacement for the inappropriate and outdated term "berdache".
Two-Spirit gender identity
Two-Spirit is a modern, pan-Indian, umbrella term used by some Indigenous North Americans to describe certain people in their communities who fulfill a traditional third-gender (or other gender non-conforming) ceremonial role in their cultures.
Two-Spirit as a gender identity
A Native (North) American who is non-cisgender, non-binary or gender-variant (especially one belonging to a traditional tribal third-gender, fourth-gender or transgender category).
Two-Spirit gender identities
Two-Spirit identity
Note that the term Two-Spirit is sometimes used as an umbrella term for Native American and First Nation culturally-specific gender and sexual roles, outside of Eurocentric and colonialist frameworks. However, it is more appropriate to use the specific identity a Native American or First Nation person uses (or used in life), especially if it is tribe specific. Many persons falling under these roles actively do not consider themselves to be Two-Spirit.
Depending on context, Two-Spirit may refer to a gender identity and/or role, a sexual orientation and/or sexuality, both, or neither. This entry is intended to represent cases which context refers to gender identity. Use more specific entries where applicable.

An item or device designed to prevent speech, often as a restraint device to stop the subject from calling for help and keep its wearer quiet. This is usually done by blocking the mouth, partially or completely, or attempting to prevent the tongue, lips, or jaw from moving in the normal patterns of speech. The more "effective" a gag appears to be, the more hazardous it is: for example, duct tape is fairly effective at keeping one's mouth shut but is hazardous if for some reason (e.g., the common cold) the subject cannot breathe freely through the nose. For this reason, a gagged person should never be left alone.

apotemnophilia
Sexual arousal from having a body part amputated, by the memory of said amputation, or from becoming an amputee in general.
People who have apotemnophilia have oftentimes been incorrectly compared to transgender people who seek surgery as both user similar metaphors to describe their conditions: "born into the wrong body" and "having a part not of their true self", for instance. This may have led to the coining of "body integrity dysphoria" (being akin to gender dysphoria). However, it is important to consider major differences between the two, including the major umbrellla of transgender identity entirely unconnected to surgical procedures and the kinds of procedures undergone by transgender people and the reasonings for them undergoing such procedures.
A extremely rare type of delusion, often linked to seizure or, occasionally, to schizophrenia, in which an individual believes that their body has spontaneously transformed into that of a different gender-related phenotype (for example, a person who identifies as male and has male genitalia believes that he has spontaneously grown breasts and a vagina and has lost his penis and testicles).
sexual transformation delusion
Delusion of sexual transformation is entirely unconnected to a person being transgender. A transgender person almost always recognizes their current phenotype and seeks out treatment to change that phenotype; those experiencing sexual transformation delusions believe that their phenotype has already changed or is changing for any of various reasons related to the delusion. For instance, the 19th century German judge Daniel Schreber believed that "rays" from God physically and miraculously transformed him into a woman.

live birth
live births
This definition of the term "live birth" was created by the World Health Organization in 1950 and is chiefly used for public health and statistical purposes. Whether the birth is vaginal or by Caesarean section, and whether the neonate is ultimately viable, is not relevant to this statistical definition. However, the term "live birth" was in common use long before 1950.
Human parturition which occurs when a fetus, whatever its gestational age, exits the maternal body and subsequently shows any sign of life, such as voluntary movement, heartbeat, or pulsation of the umbilical cord, for however brief a time and regardless of whether the umbilical cord or placenta are intact.

There is currently no consensus regarding the definition of life. One popular definition is that organisms are open systems that maintain homeostasis, are composed of cells, have a life cycle, undergo metabolism, can grow, adapt to their environment, respond to stimuli, reproduce and evolve. Other definitions sometimes include non-cellular life forms such as viruses and viroids.
The state that distinguishes organisms from inorganic matter, manifested by growth, metabolism, reproduction, and adaptation. It includes the course of existence, the sum of experiences, the mode of existing, or the fact of being. Over the centuries inquiries into the nature of life have crossed the boundaries from philosophy to biology, forensic medicine, anthropology, etc., in creative as well as scientific literature.
A characteristic that distinguishes physical entities that have biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased (they have died), or because they never had such functions and are classified as inanimate. Various forms of life exist, such as plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and bacteria.
