#the queer dictionary

[duine-aiteach]

As Gaeilge:

Rinne mé mo hinscne ‘demiflux’ as Gaeilge! Leath ó an focail ‘leath’ agus sreabhadh ó sreabhadh inscne

Leath-sreabhadh - inscne nuair a tá leath ag fanacht socair agus leath ag athraitheach

[ID: an bratach leath-sreabhadh (dhá dath liadh, bándearg, buí, gorm agus dhá dath liadh) le na focáil “Leath-sreabhadh”]

As Béarla:

I made my own gender demiflux in Irish! Leath from the word for half and sreabhadh from the Irish for genderflux, sreabhadh inscne

Demiflux - a gender identity where the person’s gender is partially static and partially fluctuating

[ID: the demiflux flag (two shades of grey, pink, yellow, blue and two shades of grey) with the words “Leath-sreabhadh”, the Irish for demiflux]

USI is delighted to launch this dictionary today, alongside the Transgender Equality Network of Ireland (TENI) and BelongTo. We began this project as we believed that it was right that everyone would be able to recognise themselves in any language, and that they would be able to describe themselves in any language. The Irish language…

The first LGBTQIA dictionary for the Irish language was launched a couple of days ago. ‘Aromantic’ has been translated as ‘Gan-rómánsach’. I love languages (I'm just too lazy to learn them...) so I thought that maybe we could collect translations for ‘aromantic’/’aromanticism’ in different languages, and ‘wrong’ translations we’ve seen. The German terms are ‘aromantisch’ und ‘Aromantik’. Wrong translations I’ve seen: Unromantik, A-Romantizismus (I found both in reviews of Moses Sumney’s album).
