Untwisting the Two Identity Strands in the LGBTQIAA+ Community
(2024-07-17) Walker-Roberts, Gary; Grieser, Narissa
This Open Education Resource (OER) educational white paper untwists the two identity stands (gender identities and lovealities/sexualities) that form the LGBTQIAA+ Community. Many people ask, “How did gender identities (beyond the binary gender system) and lovealities/sexualities (beyond the romantic love/sex between a male and a female) become twisted together to form one community?" Dr. Walker-Roberts to provide their insight on the question by covering the following topics: LGBTQIAA+ key identity terms, a brief history of two events that forced the identities to form a community, and gender identity and lovealities/sexuality terminology. A comprehensive review of each identity strand is provided independently from each other. A re-imaged conversational flow is presented so people can avoid the unproductive apologetic cycle when incorrect assumptions are made regarding the two ways in which people identify. When people face new ideas, skills, concepts, and beliefs, they must accept using the growth heartset theory before relying on the growth mindset theory. The growth mindset theory is well-known, whereas the growth heartset theory is new. An explanation of the characteristics of the growth heartset theory is explained in this OER educational white paper.
