SEX\/GENDER<\/h1>\n\n <\/dt>\n\n
\n \n\n

The distinction between sex (biological sex) and gender (social gender) comes from English. Human beings are born into different bodies (sex), but gender is primarily determined socially, not by biology. Gender is connected to roles and cultural traditions that\u00a0are maintained through societal conventions. The gender \/ sex spectrum is highly diverse and in addition to categories of \u201cman\u201d and \u201cwoman\u201d, there are also other genders such\u00a0as “non-binary” and other sexes like “inter*”.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/dd>\n\n <\/dl>\n<\/div>\n\n

LGBTQIA+<\/h1>\n\n <\/dt>\n\n

Abbreviation for the words lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersexual,\u00a0and asexual. The abbreviation denotes persons with sexual and \/ or romantic orientations and gender identities that are characterised by not corresponding\u00a0to heteronormative or binary norms. The + stands for all diverse forms of sexuality and gender that are not listed explicitly.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/dd>\n\n <\/dl>\n<\/div>\n\n

PEOPLE OF COLOR<\/h1>\n\n <\/dt>\n\n
\n \n\n

(abbr: PoC) is an expression originating in the USA. Since the civil rights movement, it has been used for people who are \u201cnot white\u201d. It comes from\u00a0an academic context and is a sociological term. It is an important tool for dealing with racism and has become popular in Europe. It should also be noted that violence towards foreigners and racism that people in Europe have undergone and continue to undergo is not always connected with external features (for example, people from the Balkans, Roma, Jews, Muslims or other religions, people with limited knowledge of languages, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n <\/dd>\n\n <\/dl>\n<\/div>\n\n

TRANS AND CIS<\/h1>\n\n <\/dt>\n\n
\n \n\n

Trans* (from Latin for \u201cthe other side\u201d) denotes a person who feels their gender does not or does not only corre- spond with the gender they were assigned at birth, which was based on physical characteristics. The addition of a star after the noun (Trans*) shows the inclusion of various experiences and realities. Other terms for this are trans- gender or transidentity. The term \u201ctranssexual\u201d is now outdated and is now avoided by many as gender identity has nothing to do with sexuality. The term cis person (from Latin for \u201cthis side\u201d) refers to persons whose gender identity coincides with the gender identity they were assigned at birth.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/dd>\n\n <\/dl>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n
\n\n
\n

QUEER<\/h1>\n\n <\/dt>\n\n
\n \n\n

Queer people are those for whom heteronormativity and the binary system norms \u201cget in the way\u201d. Queer is an umbrella term for lesbians, gays, bisexual, trans, non-binary and\/or asexual people, and also includes those who seek to question and \u201cdisrupt\u201d the two-gender binary system and heteronormativity politically and theoretically.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/dd>\n\n <\/dl>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
