I'm asking you how you assign gender to people who lack certain secondary sexual characteristics.

I thought that's what LGBT did.

It's meant to represent the fact that there are other identities which are included in the grouping but not represented by a distinct letter (such as intersex, demisexual, two-spirit, nonbinary, etc).

A lot of us don't really subscribe to labels. Is it meant to include us, too?

There is a tendency in what is the LGBTQ+ movement broadly defined, to de-sexualise sexuality. I was involved in the organisation of a queer festival in Cyprus for a number of years, and I remember there was some resistance to proposed topics such as female sexual health, gay men's sexual health, and sex and disability. Those are topics I would love to hear people talk about, but the festival mostly kept an academic/theoretical focus.

Oh my sweet summer child.
To me, porn is having sex or masturbating in public view. I just can't envision women (no one cares if men do, say what you will) pleasuring themselves to onlookers or couples having sex in public places. Let's say this is some society of yesteryear. It doesn't make sense to me. I'm not saying it never happened but it seems more likely that you'd go to a whorehouse (for whatever reason or sex you prefer) to get entertained and maybe have sex there rather than go there to watch others have sexvijayjohn wrote:Porn is older than writing.

I doubt there was porn before TV came about.
