ENG:  Gender Queer: A Memoir, Maia Kobabe (2019) Agender has several meanings, but it is usually understood as an undefined gender identity or the declaration of having no gender or that it is neutral. Is it the same asexual and gender? Not necessarily. Asexual refers to the sexual impulse or desire. But ... you always have to have gender, right? Gender is a cultural issue. Many times we believe that everything is governed according to our behavioral parameters, however, just as there are other ways of being and feeling different from ours, there are also other ways of "classifying" genres. If you are interested in this, we recommend you take a look at this post about muxhes . Returning to gender, in Thailand there are the Kathoey, they are people identified as men at birth but who either do not feel represented by their gender (transsexuality) or who decide to have a feminized physical appearance. In the Hawaiian culture there are māhū, which are explained i

ENG:  Bisexual is usually understood as romantic attraction or sexual attraction to both men and women. In other words, being a man who likes men or women indistinctly or being a woman who likes both men and women. Being bisexual is NOT being gay or lesbian. Below I leave you a link belonging to the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend TV show in which one of the characters openly declares himself bisexual, parodying some of the many stereotypes that bisexual people have to live with. Personally I would highlight this part: Being bi doesn't imply that you're A "playa" or a "slut." Sure, I like sex! Many times bisexual people have to live with the idea of them as people with an exacerbated sexual desire. ESP: Se suele entender por bisexual a la atracción romántica o la atracción sexual tanto hacia hombres como hacia mujeres. Es decir ser un hombre al que le gusten de indistinto modo hombres o mujeres o ser una mujer al que le guste tanto hombres como mujeres. S

ENG Drag queen, Drag King or transformist is a term that describes a person who normally disguises himself in an exaggerated and cartoonish way from the other genre with various intentions, in order to point out the absurdity of gender stereotypes to the traditional roles associated with the gender that caricatures or night performance (Yannick say). Drag Queen is usually the man who disguises himself as a woman and the Drag King is the woman who disguises herself as a man. But ... Is she the same transvestite as Drag Queen? Not exactly. A transvestite and a Drag Queen usually differ in intent by what clothes of the other gender they are: a Drag normally does this as part of a show and travestite can have various motivations (if you have still doubts I highly recommend you take a look here ) Look at the two portraits below: one of them represents Chevalier d'Éon or Mademoiselle Beaumont, a politician who was in the service of Louis XV, in the other we find a famous Second Lif

ENG: Lesbian is the sexual orientation or sexual preference that a woman feels towards other people of the same sex. Below the text in the image on the left we see two naked women and despite the "innocence" of its title - The Dream, G. Courbet (1866) - in my point of view we are witnessing a lesbian sexual relationship, but perhaps not. What about you? What are we looking at? ESP: Lesbiana es la orientación sexual o preferencia sexual que siente una mujer hacia otras personas de su mismo sexo. En la imagen vemos a dos mujeres desnudas y a pesar de "lo inocente" de su título - El Sueño, G. Courbet (1866) - bajo mi punto de vista estamos presenciando una relación sexual lésbica, pero quizás no.  Y tú, ¿qué ves?

ENG:  Gay or homosexual is the sexual orientation or sexual preference that a person feels towards people of the same sex. Gay or homosexual can be used to also designate lesbian women. Does having relationships with a person of the same sex make me gay? It doesn't have to, that's a homosexual sexual practice. For example, you don't like doing sports, but one day you might feel like going out to do sports and you have NEVER played sports in your life: would that make you an athlete? Well, no.  With a sexual practice with someone of your same gender the same. Resignify the words? The use of certain derogatory words and insults such as "faggot" or "sissy" as a way to designate gays continues to be the subject of debate within the group itself. For some people the use of the word gay is a euphemism that hides and whitewashes an oppressed and still punished sexual preference in many contexts and countries. For example, there are mus

ENG: Cisgender is the term used to designate people whose gender identity matches their sexual phenotype. Interestingly, despite the fact that much of the population is likely cisgender, many people never consider themselves as such. Maybe it's because these people have never had to worry about this. They have never had to try to explain that they do not identify with the gender assigned to them at birth. Being cisgender has nothing to do with your sexual orientation. You can be gay or lesbian and be cisgender. It is highly recommended to use this term to avoid using terms that may be derogatory such as "normal". Because ... what is normality? ESP: Cisgénero es el término utilizado para designar a las personas cuya identidad de género coincide con su fenotipo sexual. Resulta curioso el hecho de que a pesar de que gran parte de la población sea probablemente cisgénero, muchas personas nunca se consideran a sí mismas como tal. Quizás sea porque estas personas n

ENG:  Muxhe is a person who is born biologically masculine but feels a feminine identity, in an indigenous Zapotec culture in Mexico. It could be said that  it's similar to the trans person but in reality has its own characteristics, given by the own culture to which he/she belongs. There may be muxhes with masculine clothing and muxhes with feminine clothing, but their construction is always from the feminine. The term comes from the 16th century, from the Spanish language, and is a derivation of the word "woman". (source:  https://latinta.com.ar/2016/08/identidad-muxhe/ ) Muxhe is a cultural concept. A muxhe can consider himself/herself trans or transvestite. But it doesn't have to be. Isn't the fact that the "correct term" to DEFINE a biologically male person who feels that it's identity is female a "transsexual" is not trying to put again "rules" on gender? Is it not - once again - an attempt to set standards for who w

ENG. A person or an avatar who sometimes wears clothes traditionally worn by and associated with the opposite sex. Transvestite should also not be confused with transgender. Transvestite should also not be confused with drag queen or drag king: those are for performers. But... that's all? ESP. Una persona o un avatar que en ocasiones lleva ropas tradicionalmente asociadas o que han sido llevadas por el sexo opuesto. Travesti no debe ser confundido con transgénero . Travesti no debe ser confundido con drag queen o drag king : estas denominaciones están pensadas para performers . Pero... ¿eso es todo? If the dress or the corse are "women clothes"... is this the image of a transvestite? Si el vestido o el corsé son "prendas para mujeres"... ¿es esta la imagen de un travesti? 1. Techumbre mudéjar de Teruel (S. XIV) -  2. Madame Corset Selection by Malena Von Dash (2020) If make-up is"women's stuff"... is this the image of a
