Should have mentioned that it's produced, written, and directed by the Wachowskis
Meh, sounds like it might be worth a look, I guess.
and J. Michael Straczynski
Sold!
A lot of the themes end up being LGBTQXYZSDKDLIRONGIE-whatever....The Wachowskis had worked all that out ahead of time and kept it all straight.
Wait, which is it?

I was going to apologize for the letter-salad, which I intended as a joke that it seems like extra letters keep getting added on; eg, during the campaign suddenly a "Q" was added.
Well yeah there is history and the 'T' and the 'B' also got added during the campaign(s) - if memory served it often came down to what University groups and the like should call themselves. It used to be 'gay rights' but gay became associated more with men, so the lesbians were like 'hey we're getting inadvertently overlooked in this discourse and we have problems that diverge from gay men...' so it became Lesbian and Gay at which point the 'Bi group' pointed out that this left them in the cold and LGB label was born to avoid the clumsy naming them all, the Trans got upset that that since they were pretty much part of the same community they should stand together and be included in the name and when other sexual identities followed the catchall Q was added. It has been used as a mean spirited joke by some, but I understood it wasn't meant that way in your case. That said, you added so many letters it actually took me a moment to understand what you were saying. The typical joke goes along the lines of LGBTBBQWTF
Somewhere I read or heard the statement that there are 23 genders, but I think that was satire
A bit of both. There is this confusing area that is neither male or female (trans or cis), and within this area are people who differentiate themselves from one another. The genderfluid sometimes feel male other times female - there are those that don't feel either some that feel both, some that feel exactly in the middle and so on and so forth. There are different names for these identities such as 'neutrosis' 'gender neutral' 'genderqueer', 'pangender' etc etc. Part of this fracturing is a result of the fact that it is only quite recently that people talked about it so there is a sort of linguistic and social exploration of ideas going on. It's a bit of a lumpers/splitters issue in the genderqueer community
