QUILTBAG

Coined by Sadie Lee as an inclusive self-designation for minority sexual and gender identities.

There’s a reason that people supporting marriage and fighting hardest for it are primarily middle class white gays and lesbians, because, for them, marriage may be the ‘final frontier,’ while other members of the QUILTBAG community are fighting with issues like ‘how to stay alive when your parents have kicked you out of the house for being gay’ and ‘how to get hormone treatments when you are an undocumented immigrant making less than minimum wage.’

2010 September 17, S. E. Smith, “Separate but equal is still unequal”, in This Ain’t Livin’, archived from the original on 2010-09-23:

And so not all queer writing is quiltbag, and neither is all quiltbag writing queer.

Over the past few decades, stories have slowly changed from being the kind where the author first explains how QUILTBAG people might come to exist and be acceptable (see Joanna Russ’s The Female Man, in which a group of women become lesbians because they’re stuck for centuries on a planet without men) to the kinds where we take it for granted that QUILTBAG people need no speculative explanation (see Elizabeth Bear’s Carnival, in which there’s a planet run by lesbians because some radical lesbian separatists—people who already exist in present day Earth culture—decided to start their own colony).

Or "I wrote on rape culture my junior year at Brown / So I'm allowed to say what all his raps are about"

2011, “Backpackers”, in Camp, performed by Childish Gambino:

A culture, environment or society where rape (a form of sexual assault) is common, and in which social attitudes or practices work to trivialize sexual violence, make rape seem normal, or shift responsibility from rapists to rape victims.

tomgirl

From tom + girl. The “girlish boy” sense was formed as an antonym of tomboy; the “boyish girl” sense is an alteration of tomboy to reinforce that the referent is a girl.

Homosexual stirrings in children before puberty are very difficult to evaluate; most small boys with signs of effeminacy probably do not become homosexuals as adults and most tomgirls become heterosexual.

1969, Harry Chapman, Sexual maneuvers and stratagems, page 121:

To anybody else it's pretty silly: love. Why should I feel a loss? How am I bereft? She was never mine; she was a fiction, always a golden tomgirl, barefoot, with an adolescent's slouch and a boy's taste for sports and fishing, […]

1998, Richard Ford, The Granta Book of the American Short Story, page 308:

What Babe made me feel was something different. My secret Montana tomgirl heart burst with pride that this Texas tomgirl could hit that silly little ball farther than Snead could. Even the comments by some people in town that Babe was "kinda weird" (another code word for lesbian) didn't […]

2006, Patricia Nell Warren, The lavender locker room: 3000 years of great athletes whose sexual orientation was different, page 175:

But she still wears her sweatpants in size XXXL, and hasn't lost that tomgirl touch. "A stylist kept trying to tell me to wear heels," she says. "You're not gonna be sliding and gliding in no heels."

mansplanation

Like I said, I can see how a person can take the song as a mansplanation of an issue primarily pertaining to women, but was that Lupe’s intention?

English physician Samuel Farr was pretty certain women couldn't get pregnant without an orgasm. The Guardian quotes the mansplanation from his 1814 Elements of Medical Jurisprudence: "For without an excitation of lust, or the enjoyment of pleasure in the venereal act, no conception can probably take place. So that if an absolute rape were to be perpetrated, it is not likely she would become pregnant."

2012 August, Erika Eichelberger, “Men Defining Rape: A History”, in Mother Jones:

Vesta's left me alone with him so he can give me some sort of Big Daddy lecture. Because the thing I need right now is a mansplanation of the error of my thinking.

hermaphroditically

For nature hates that any principle should breed, so to speak, hermaphroditically, but will give to each an help meet for it which shall cross it and be the undoing of it; as in the case of descent with modification, of which the essence would appear to be that every offspring should resemble its parents, and yet, at the same time, that no offspring should resemble its parents.

transgenderist

After having lived much of our lives according to a socially accepted prescription, many of us come to realize that we have not been true to ourselves. As full-time or part-time transgenderists, we feel the need to improve the quality of life for ourselves by creating an environment around us which is compatible with the kind of life style we wish to achieve.

1979, Nancy, “Feather Your Own Nest”, in Transvestia, volume XVII, number 98, Chevalier Publications, →LCCN, archived from the original on 2023-06-19, page 36:

Perhaps the most surprising and controversial issue to emerge was that of “transpeople." Transpeople, as defined by the highly articulate Houston based Transpeople Caucus are “transexuals, transgenderists, transvestites, drag queens, and female impersonators." Phyllis Frye, a transgenderist from Houston, in fact opened the welcoming Friday night session. The original motion made by this caucus called for, “the term Gay Transpeople to be included in all statements...The demands as well as policy and media coverage.” They also called for the changing of the name of the March to read “Lesbians, Gay Males and Gay Transpeople’s March on Washington."

1979 September/October, “The March Is On!”, in The Lesbian Tide, volume 9, number 2, Los Angeles: Tide Publications, page 12, column 3:

Finally, since all of this comes out of my own experience and my own thinking, when one gets to the transgenderist position, which is where I am now, I can set up housekeeping right in the middle, if I want, and look and act womanly until a “fence” gets in my way — and then vault over it and go on my way without any feelings of inappropriateness, or “what will people think,” or, “that wasn’t very feminine” type of thinking. I’m just very satisfied to be ME, a position that incorporates all of me, both left, right and middle.

1981, Virginia Prince, “Relaxation in "DRESSING"”, in Transvestia, volume XVIII, number 104, Chevalier Publications, archived from the original on 2023-06-19, page 26, column 3:

Going further than the one-dimensional femininity of the transvestite and cross-dresser, many transgenderists mix and match, blending as much femininity or masculinity with its opposite into new gender recipes.

2002, Richard Ekins, David King, Blending Genders:

[…] in her cross-dressed transgenderist the assured knowableness of the universal subject is cast into doubt as she exposes the far from secure boundaries of maleness.

2010, Carole Jones, Disappearing Men: Gender Disorientation in Scottish Fiction, 1979-1999:

Being a transsexual is not something that can be ignored or suppressed forever. Unlike the fascinations of the cross dresser or the partially altered transgenderist, the absolute compulsion of classical transsexualism is a matter of life and death.

2012, Patrick Slattery, Curriculum Development in the Postmodern Era:

(rare, sometimes derogatory) A transgender person.


agender

An agender noun includes both the masculine and feminine forms.

All I understand is that G-d is amorphous, agender, etc. so "image" can't be a physical or gender or sexual thing.

2000 July 28, Miriam Wolfe, “Re: The Genealogy of J---s Question”, in alt.messianic (Usenet):

"He" has been used as the default pronoun, and as I said, unfortunately there is no agender equivalent to he/she, as "it" is usually equated with something without life, or at least of a life form considered to be less intelligent (that in itself is negotiable, but this is for a different topic).

2000 November 21, abbycat2 [username], “Re: God and Grammar”, in soc.religion.quaker (Usenet):

But despite this near-universality of gender, cultures can have transgender, agender, and hypergender individuals.

2005 July 20, man_in_black529 [username], “Re: Homosexuality and the Bible”, in alt.politics.democrats (Usenet):

"'Agender'? I'm pretty sure that means not identifying as a particular gender? I'm sorry. That's just what it made me think of. I'm not trying to tell you what to--"

And feminists aren't the only ones complaining about the Island's inaugural “breastaurant”: Concerned parents whose broods play in the park across the street wonder how to shield them from the chain's double-entendre name, which is about as sophisticated as those looseleaf notes you furtively passed in high school health class.

2010, “Queen of the Neighbourhood”, in Revolutionary Women: A Book of Stencils, PM Press, →ISBN, page 14:

“There’s a ‘manarchist’ problem in a lot of left-wing spaces,” Federow, a young New York–based artist and activist who has been active in Occupy Judaism and has regularly volunteered downtown, says. “By that I mean a small group of white guys take up space and make de facto choices for a larger group of people.”

2011 October 26, Sarah Seltzer, “Where Are the Women at Occupy Wall Street? Everywhere—and They're Not Going Away”, in The Nation:

Nor is it unique to the organised left - the brocialist's more chaotic cousin is, of course, the manarchist, who displays many of the same traits in terms of blindness to privilege, casual sexism and a refusal to acknowledge structural gender oppression, but has a slightly different reading list and a more monochrome wardrobe.

Needless to say, from my SO's perspective, this was an astounding number.

5 * 52 * 26 = 6,760.
So any of you old fart wankers and wankettes out there care to give an estimate?
