The GLBT and GSA Thread

why 2 acronyms for the title instead of just 1?

huh?

Because each of those acronyms represents something different. Why is your username made up of two words mashed together, instead of just one?

That would require too much effort... guilty as charged.

^ I read the opening post, it doesn't explain the 'GSA' acronym nor why 2 acronyms are used

Because each of those acronyms represents something different.

but doesn't each letter within each of those acronyms also represent something different?

cause I don't like dashes & underscores

GSA stands for Gay-Straight Allience.... i included it since this thread ins't LGBT exclusive

[SF_and_Coffee]

the opening post doesn't explain the 'GSA' acronym nor why 2 acronyms are used

GLBT = Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender
GSA = Gay-Straight Alliance, a group that includes GLBT people and the people who do not fall into any of those categories but who are supportive of them.

So two acronyms are used because each is the name of a different group. This thread is for members of both groups.

GSA stands for Gay-Straight Allience....

Good Evening all.
Someone asked me a question today regarding my transvestism which I thought I'd share with you. I was asked "Are you going to have the operation then? You know the operation to make you look like a woman?" I wanted to scream. The person concerned is not the sharpest tool in the box. So I explained that just because I'm a transvestite it does not mean I want to be a woman. I just like dressing like a woman.

My boss actually asked the same question when I came 'out' to him and my colleagues. And I admit that I did think about GRS when I was younger. But things happened that made me realise that I was happy as I was. I'm a transvestite and proud.

But I do think about transitioning occasionally.

I am going to ask my Area Manager a hypothetical question. About what the company procedure is for a employee who plans to transition and change their sex.

ie. participates in marches/demonstrations, establishes a movement and/or organization, creates topics on GW such as this one...you know, (varying degrees of) activism

That's an interesting question. I for one would like to know the answer when you get it.

Even I (who doesn't have this lifestyle) sometimes have to enlighten people (including my mother ) that just because someone dresses like the opposite gender, doesn't mean they want a gender changing operation...

I've even heard assumptions from people that if a person is gay, they want to be the opposite gender! Thankfully, Mum's not that bad!

If that's the case what about those who are bisexual?

A friend I used to have a long time ago once said that bisexuals just can't choose and want to enjoy both sides of the fence. I was (at the time) too shocked to come up with a decent reply so I remained silent.

they want to be snails
