5-alpha reductase deficiency [homoit0000001]
2019-09-01 00:00:00 UTC

Description

+

English

People with 5-alpha reductase deficiency, abbreviated as 5-ARD, have XY chromosomes, testes, and typical levels of testosterone, but their bodies do not have the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to the more powerful androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This affects how an individual's external sex characteristics develop, and people born with 5-ARD often have genital differences that are noticed at birth. In adolescence, people with 5-ARD typically develop some features associated with testosterone puberty, and they may experience genital growth at this point.

Androgen insensitivity syndrome [homoit0000044]
2019-09-01 00:00:00 UTC

Description

+

English

People born with AIS have XY chromosomes and testes, and their bodies have varying levels of insensitivity to androgens (including testosterone). This means that their cells do not respond typically to the testosterone that they produce. Like other variations in sex characteristics, AIS is a spectrum, with the subcategories of complete (CAIS), partial (PAIS), and mild androgen insensitivity (MAIS). The term "male androgen insensitivity syndrome" should not be used to describe this variation because many people with AIS are women.

English

To acknowledge their multiple marginalization, terms for people of color who are LGBTQ+ use the following format: Racial or ethnic identity followed by gender or sexual identity (e.g., Black lesbians). Terms for white LGBTQ+ people also follow this format to avoid treating whiteness as the standard or norm and instead emphasize its specificity and significance.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia [homoit0000301]
2019-09-01 00:00:00 UTC

Description

+

English

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of different but related genetic variations that affect the enzymes that allow the adrenal glands to make hormones that regulate the body’s functions. People with CAH do not consistently produce the amount of cortisol or aldosterone they need, but they may naturally produce higher-than-typical levels of androgens such as testosterone to help the body compensate. Someone with CAH can be born with XX or XY chromosomes. People with CAH and XY chromosomes are usually not considered to have a variation in sex characteristics since an increased amount of androgens will not cause the development of any characteristics that are not considered typical for people assigned male at birth. In people with XX chromosomes and CAH, the increase in androgen production can result in genital differences such as a larger-than-typical clitoris, fused labia, and the fusion of the urethra and vaginal canal to form a single opening. They may also develop some characteristics like body and facial hair or increased muscle mass during childhood or puberty.

Description

+

English

Agencies that serve to connect paying clients with escorts offering services by appointment. Escort services may be less stigmatized than other forms of sex work, in part because it tends to be safer for escorts and because some escorts offer a broader range of services, including accompaniment or entertainment without the promise of sexual contact. However, the tendency to frame escorting as separate from or superior to other forms of sex work obscures the labor undertaken by escorts and perpetuates discrimination against the most marginalized and vulnerable sex workers.

Sex workers whose clients are required to make appointments for their services.

fetishism [fetishism]

History Note

+

English

As part of the v3.3 update, the following terms were redirected to this term to better reflect the scope of the Homosaurus: "Ephebophilia," "Gerontophilia," and "Hebephilia." We recommend that users replace those terms with the term "Fetishism" in their records. As part of the v.3.5 update, the term "Fetishism" was replaced with "Kinks and fetishes", keeping the original URI and term relationships the same while also expanding the Kinks and fetishes branch extensively.

As part of the v3.2 update, the following terms were redirected to this term to ensure that the vocabulary accurately reflected the subject matter described: "Gay religious groups" and "Lesbian religious groups." Additionally, the term "Metropolitan Community Church" was redirected to this term because, as of v3.3, the Homosaurus no longer includes terms for specific organizations. We recommend that users replace those three terms with the term "LGBTQ+-affirming religious groups" in their records.

To acknowledge their multiple marginalization, terms for people of color who are LGBTQ+ use the following format: Racial or ethnic identity followed by gender or sexual identity (e.g., Black lesbians). Terms for white LGBTQ+ people also follow this format to avoid treating whiteness as the standard or norm and instead emphasize its specificity and significance.

Gender [homoit0000560]
2019-09-01 00:00:00 UTC

Description

+

English

A socially constructed system that gives meaning to masculinity and femininity and that unevenly distributes power and opportunity according to cultural interpretations of sex. As an element of personal identity, a gender is developed through the interaction of social roles and expectations, one’s response to those expectations, one’s physiology, and one’s internal sense of self. Gender is culturally specific, meaning that different cultures have different understandings of what gender means and how many genders should be recognized.

Gender dysphoria [homoit0000567]
2019-09-01 00:00:00 UTC

Description

-	English	Psychological diagnosis for an incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and one’s assigned gender
+	English	A psychological diagnosis (replacing the outdated and offensive "gender identity disorder") used to describe the sense of unease or dissatisfaction an individual feels as a result of incongruence between their gender identity and their assigned gender, gender expression, and/or the way their gender is perceived by others. This term is also used colloquially by individuals to describe the discomfort and distress they experience as a result of this incongruence. Though gender dysphoria is often associated with trans people, people of any identity may experience gender dysphoria when they do not feel "right" in their body or the way their gender is being expressed.

Description

+

English

Term used to describe a level or frequency of sexual desire that is perceived as excessive within a given culture. Though the medical community has not reached a consensus as to whether hypersexuality should be included as a clinical diagnosis, doctors and psychologists have historically diagnosed LGBTQ+ people with hypersexuality (or other related labels) in order to wrongly treat their identities and desires as medical disorders. Should only be used in a historical context or if an individual self-identifies with the term.

Description

English

People with hypospadias are born with their urinary opening located somewhere other than the tip of the penis. In "distal hypospadias," the urinary opening is elsewhere on the glans (head) of the penis, whereas in "proximal hypospadias," it is on the underside of the penis and sometimes further back near the scrotum. Hypospadias is one of the most common and visible genital variations. People with hypospadias often have additional variations like chordee (a bend in the penis) or cryptorchidism (undescended testicles).

Surgeries or other medical treatments performed, typically on newborn babies or children, to "normalize" the patient's reproductive or sexual anatomy and force their body to conform to medical or social expectations for what is male or female.

History Note

English

As part of the v3.3 update, the term "LGBTQ+ Judaism" was redirected to this term, "Jewish LGBTQ+ people," to clarify its scope. We recommend that users replace that term in their records with "Jewish LGBTQ+ people." Additionally, to acknowledge their multiple marginalization, terms for people of color who are LGBTQ+ use the following format: Racial or ethnic identity followed by gender or sexual identity (e.g., Black lesbians). Terms for white LGBTQ+ people also follow this format to avoid treating whiteness as the standard or norm and instead emphasize its specificity and significance.

Klinefelter syndrome [homoit0000692]
2019-09-01 00:00:00 UTC

Description

+

English

People with Klinefelter syndrome develop with an extra copy of the X chromosome, resulting in a 47XXY pattern (instead of the typical 46XY). These individuals might have smaller-than-typical testes that produce lower amounts of testosterone and/or sperm, and they may start puberty later than typical (or may not go through puberty without hormone therapy). They may grow taller than usual, may develop breast tissue, and often experience infertility. This variation often does not cause obvious physical differences, and many people do not realize they have it.

History Note

English

Term changed from “Latinx” to “Latino/a/x” to acknowledge the variation in use among the affected community. To acknowledge their multiple marginalization, terms for people of color who are LGBTQ+ use the following format: Racial or ethnic identity followed by gender or sexual identity (e.g., Black lesbians). Terms for white LGBTQ+ people also follow this format to avoid treating whiteness as the standard or norm and instead emphasize its specificity and significance.

English

A cultural movement and critical perspective that arose in the 1970s and 1980s primarily in North America and Western Europe as a result of dissatisfaction with the women's liberation movement and the gay liberation movement. Lesbian feminism encourages women to focus their efforts, activities, and relationships toward other women rather than men, often advocating for lesbianism as the logical result of feminism.

To acknowledge their multiple marginalization, terms for people of color who are LGBTQ+ use the following format: Racial or ethnic identity followed by gender or sexual identity (e.g., Black lesbians).
