    Serious question - do those who refuse to be classed as male/female come under the LGBT rainbow?

    I have become more and more confused with it all as I've got older.

    I remember a lad at school making a big song and dance about being gay, and everyone went "we know".

    Each to their own I say.

    But the non-gender thing is beyond me. I get that some feel they're in the wrong body. I can get that. I understand that some men like other men. Fine. Like I say, each to theirs and all that. But I don't understand the thinking behind not being male or female.

    I think they are a category within the umbrella. I regard myself as fairly liberal but my children are rolling their eyes when I question it too. I just wonder if we all wore the same clothes, make up , haircuts etc male and female if they'd still have those feelings of not being male/female.

    There's pan sexual now. I don't find pans remotely sexual.

    YTBFC - it's horrendously complicated - and I'm no expert. If you google 'LGBT symbols - wikipedia' there's a list of 9 different categories each with it's own flag!
    I think Redhelen is right that the LGBT term is a sort of umbrella term. And there is some opposition amongst the 'traditional' LGBT group for the Transgender people to be included along with the LGB people. As Jeanette Winterson (sp) - she wrote 'Oranges are Not the Only Fruit' - said 'if we're not careful we're going to run out of letters to describe ourselves.'
    I agree, I have a problem with someone saying they're non-gender.

    As YTBFC says, each to their own...but what about those of us too old and tired to have any sexuality? What's our terms of reference? :D

    The only heavy breathing I do these days is when climbing the stairs!

    If-only gender?

    On a serious note I don't like it when any one group/section of society claim ownership of flags or any kind of symbolism. Nobody 'owns' the rainbow for God's sake (although no doubt some wealthy Tories will probably claim they do)

    Brings a whole new meaning to the idea of 'battered sausage'.

    You Daft buggers where’s the pissing missen laughing emoji when you need one.
    Me n mi mate at work go into such daft conversations. Each of us trying to get the last one in. Others think we’re crackers. I love this type of humour. :)

    It’s a chip pan not an ordinary pan silly. Of course he would then. What goods hash if the solids only came out in the chip basket.
