Merriam-Webster adds "cisgender" and "genderqueer" to dictionary

A big win for LGBTQ-friendly vocabulary.

The language we use to talk about gender identity and expression changes every day, and another major player in the language world has acknowledged it.

Merriam-Webster has added the words “cisgender” and “genderqueer” to its dictionary, using the following definitions: 

Cisgender: of, relating to, or being a person whose gender identity corresponds with the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth.

Genderqueer: of, relating to, or being a person whose gender identity cannot be categorized as solely male or female.

LGBTQ language matters, and that includes (to an extent) validation, recognition and affirmation. I’ll take it.

I can’t stop laughing at Harry running the fuck away, the boy who lived ladies and gentlemen.

….You realize, of course, that Hermione Granger lit a teacher on fire when she was eleven, and kept a person alive in a jar for a year when she was fourteen, and studies dark and forbidden magics for kicks, and is one of the brightest and strongest witches of her era. If she came at me, even wandless, I would aparate to Neptune to get away from her.

Hermione Granger also: 

punched Draco Malfoy in the nose for being an idiot 

purposefully performed a confundus charm on whatshsface WHILE HE WAS FLYING just so Ron would win (omfg that is so fucking dangerous) 

literally pulled a fucking Bourne Identity on her parents and managed to set them up in fucking Australia (jesus christ she literally made it so that she NEVER EXISTED wtf that’s so fucking 007)

Convinced the Ministry of Magic to give her an incredibly dangerous and volatile device that allowed her to ALTER TIMELINES COMPLETELY (just because she was so smart, literally, that is the reason, her “potential”) 

Has enough basic survival skills and badass magic to literally disappear to the middle of nowhere and flourish AND figure out Voldemort’s plot with Harry 

Hermione also figures out not only what Voldemort’s plan is, but generally how to beat it, WAY BEFORE VOLDEMORT EVER DOES. Why? because she is just that much smarter and better at magic than everybody else

in conclusion: Voldemort wishes he could be as awesome as Hermione, that’s why he wants to kill her so bad.

I was walking down the street when a guy yelled “HEY SEXY” to a girl near me from a passing car. She looked upset so I just said, in my best femme voice, “was he talking about you or me?” Thankfully she thought it was funny and laughed. Street harassment sucks, but at least o was able to help make light of it.

December Story Part III 

As I listened to the carolers, a young girl slammed into me, and I was almost knocked off my feet. I quickly caught the girl from falling as well. She had a large coat on, and a funny old hat, and her blonde hair laid in tangles on her shoulders. She regained her balance and started chanting, “I’m going ice skating! I’m going ice skating!”

The young girl, who couldn’t have been more than seven, pushed herself away and kept chanting her enthusiasm as she skipped to what I noticed was an ice skating rink in the middle of the town square.

It’s much too late for a girl that age to be out at this time of night, isn’t it? I thought. I looked around to see if she was with anyone. At that moment, a woman, much taller, but with the same tangled blonde hair, gently squeezed my shoulder and said, “I’m so sorry about my daughter.”

“It’s not a problem, ma’am,” I replied with a smile. 

The woman gave me half a grin that looked as if it took all her energy to express, sighed heavily, and ran toward the town square calling after her daughter, “Mary!”

December Story Part II 

As I walked down the cobblestone road, I took in each building one at a time. Each glowed with twinkling lights of red, green, orange, and blue. One building had balconies that all had giant stars, lit in all red, attached to the front railing. The railings of the balconies on the next building were lined with glorious garland, full of bows, ornaments, holly and more flashing lights. There was a building themed with dancing snowmen, another with angels playing trumpets, and another dressed up as an entire fleet of elves with an enormous Santa Claus on its roof. At the end of this first block, I stopped in front of three carolers who had built a snowman to look as if he was singing as well. He even held a chorus book in his makeshift arms made of small branches. The three carolers--a man, woman, and child-- were singing my favorite Christmas carol, “Carol of the Bells.” I stood in front of them, swaying in time, humming along, feeling the warmth build within my soul.
