Cisgender / Cisgenero

Imagen
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

gay / homosexual / maricón / faggot

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.

Well, no.  With a sexual practice with someone of your same gender the same. Resignify the words?

Bisexual

Imagen
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
