About this deal
B (Bisexual): Bisexual indicates an attraction to all genders. The recognition of bisexual individuals is important, since there have been periods when people who identify as bi have been misunderstood as being gay. Bisexuality has included transgender, binary and nonbinary individuals since the release of the "Bisexual Manifesto" in 1990. Here I want to focus on some observational differences between these types. I will simply name them numerically. Asexual: Sometimes shorted to "ace," this term refers to someone who has little or no sexual attraction; they may, however, experience romantic attraction.

I don't know what to say about Type 4. I'll leave it to others. Instead, I want to focus on type 2 and type 3, because there is some inherent tension between these two. Type 4: Women who are occasionally women. They call themselves women when they put on a dress, and call themselves men when they wear something else. In a human rights context, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people face both common and distinct challenges. Intersex people (those born with atypical sex characteristics) suffer some of the same kinds of human rights violations as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, people. They also face institutional violence within healthcare systems, with lifelong consequences to their physical and psychological health. Read more about Intersex people and the human rights violations they face. Edit: I love that most people actually understand the point I’m trying to make here but for the ones that don’t, I just want to say that I was that Christian who thought anything gay was bad and who was raised to believe the LGBT+ community was going to hell and I wanted to be an ‘ally’ too because I couldn’t be brave enough to come to terms with my own sexuality, but I could at least support the people who were. Type 2, on the other hand, consider the confrontational behavior of Type 3 counterproductive. Type 2 don't believe abolishing gender is achievable or even desirable. Further more, They may view Type 3 as opportunists. Type 3 were not there when there was very little social acceptance towards trans people. They became the loudest only after Type 2 had managed to turn public opinion in favor of trans rights. Unlike Type 1, Type 2 cannot opt out an outright culture war and public opinion directly affects their lives.Learn more about the source and scope of the legal obligations of States in respect of the rights of LGBTI people Advances towards LGBTI equality
In recent years, many States have strengthened human rights protection for LGBTI people including by: Q (Queer or Questioning): Though queer may be used by people as a specific identity, it is often considered an umbrella term for anyone who is non-cisgender or heterosexual. But it is also a slur. It should not be placed on all members of the community, and should only be used by cisgender and heterosexual individuals when referring to a person who explicitly identifies with it. Questioning refers to people who may be unsure of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Discrimination against LGBTI people undermines the human rights principles outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Yet discrimination and violence against people in the LGBTI community are all too common. Homophobic, biphobic and transphobic attitudes remain deeply embedded in many cultures around the world.

So long as people face criminalization, bias and violence based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics, we must redouble our efforts to end this violations,” Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary General, on 25 September 2018.

G (Gay): Gay is usually a term used to refer to men/men-aligned individuals who are only attracted to people of the same/similar gender. However, lesbians can also be referred to as gay. The use of the term gay became more popular during the 1970s. Today, bisexual and pansexual people sometimes use gay to casually refer to themselves when they talk about their similar gender attraction.

Type 3: Women who do not want to pass. Their goal is often to challenge traditional conceptions of gender or gender roles, by intentionally accentuating certain male characteristics (e.g. a beard). They tend to be confrontational. In a sense, trans is a much more important part of their identity than women.
