Glossary of Terms

This glossary contains both factual definitions, and definitions which were made up by the gender industry for the purpose of obscuring language and confusing people about the real issues and implications of gender theory.

Made-up words that are a product of the gender industry's campaign to create "transgender" children are highlighted in red.

That human beings come in two reproductive varieties (male and female) has been well-understood across time, cultures, and the scientific community.

Cis-: a made-up prefix indicating that one’s behavior or preferences align with typical or biological expectations. (cisgender, cis-sexual, cis-man, etc.)

The word "gender" was taken from the study of language by John Money, a long-discredited and unethical gender researcher, in the 1970's. Nouns have gender. People do not.

Even in cases of chromosomal abnormality, intersex individuals still almost always fit into one of two groups: male or female

Intersex: an individual who was born with chromosomal or anatomical aspects of both maleness and femaleness. According to www.webmd.com about 1 in 1000 babies are born with some sort of sex-characteristic anomaly, though many are not discovered until puberty or after, while some are never discovered at all.

LGBTQ: an acronym for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer.

LGB/TQ: a more accurate acronym for Lesbian, Gay, & Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer which delineates the very different populations of LGB people and TQ people and their very different interests and goals.

When gender industry activists have no salient argument, they resort to ad hominem attacks, slandering anyone who questions them with epithets like "TERF".

Gender theory is based wholly on harmful, regressive stereotypes, which dictate that certain traits and interests belong to males, and others to females. If one's traits and interests do not align perfectly with these prescriptive stereotypes, one is labeled "transgender."

No one "assigns" sex. A child's sex is observed at birth by the obvious anatomical marker of his or her genitalia. Only in very rare cases of genetic disorder is this ambiguous at all.

Personality: an individual's set of traits and interests that make them unique from others; gender has nothing to do with personality.

Pronouns (also Preferred Pronouns): the grammatical reference used in place of a proper noun; transgender persons demand to be referred to by different pronouns that would be linguistically inaccurate (e.g., a man tells you that his pronouns are “she/her”).

Queer: an umbrella term to express any sexual and/or gender orientation other than heterosexuality and being cisgender, or identifying with one’s biological sex. Near antonym to Cisgender.

Questioning: describes someone who is confused about his or her sex.

Sex Assigned at Birth: one’s biological sex. This term has been created to propagate the false idea that there is no such thing as biological sex, only the gender that someone (a doctor or parent) randomly assigned to a child based on the child’s genitalia.

Stereotype: a widely-held idea or image of a person, which is fixed and oversimplified: e.g., “all girls like pink”, “all boys like sports”, “women can’t do math”, etc.

TERF: Trans-Exclusive Radical Feminist; originally referred to radical feminists who did not accept transgender ideology, but is currently used as a slur against any woman who does not fully capitulate to transgender activists' agenda.

Transgender: the state of living in disagreement with one’s biological sex; presenting oneself to the world according to stereotypes that do not align with those of one’s biological (birth) sex; previously known as transsexual or cross-dressing.

Transphobia: fear or hatred of people who are transgender. In current vernacular this term is applied to anyone who disagrees with anything that a transgender person says, wants, or believes.
