A high school in New York’s rural Honeoye Falls-Lima Central School District recently informed
parents that school officials will literally be loudly disseminating
information about sexual identity over the edifice’s loudspeakers each June day
in honor of Pride Month.
The
school released a statement proclaiming: “Each day on the announcements we will be
talking about a different part of the LGBTQ+ community to help educate people
on it.” Way to end a sentence with a
preposition, “educators.”
The
ever-growing list of sexual identities and perversions embraced by the
LGBTQIIA+ movement/community should make it easy for the school’s officials to generate
a month’s worth of material. A point that was illustrated by the first few
definitions to which the school referred according to PJ Media: “demi-girl,
demi-boy, and demi-sexual.”
A quick
check of webmd.com helps edify those of us old fuddy-duddies who aren’t particularly
versed in all things demi:
Demisexual people
only feel sexually attracted to someone when they have an emotional bond with
the person. They can be gay, straight, bisexual, or pansexual, and may have any
gender identity.
The
prefix “demi” means half — which can refer to being halfway between sexual and
asexual. Demisexuality can be a type of graysexuality. A graysexual person may
experience sexual attraction only rarely, or they may feel sexual attraction
but aren’t that interested in sex.
Demisexual
people do not feel primary attraction — the attraction you feel to someone when
you first meet them. They only feel secondary attraction — the type of
attraction that happens after knowing someone for a while.
Some people might use terms for other modes
of graysexuality to refer to demisexuality. These include:
- Gray-A
- Hyposexual
- Semisexual
- Low sexual
intensity
- Asexual-ish
- Sexual-ish
Good thing we’ve queered
cleared that up!
Yes, that’s just
what we need our educational system to do. What parent doesn’t approve of officials
taking to a school’s P.A. system to bark out obscure sexual identities like a crazed
Dr. Ruth Westheimer with Tourette syndrome.
First, there was “the
birds and the bees.” (Too binary!)
Now there is
sexual-ish.
Is that really an improvement?
