#GLSENproud to see these words added to Merriam-Webster!
Big news for LGBTQ folks: On Wednesday, Merriam-Webster announced that it added the words “cisgender” and “genderqueer” to its unabridged dictionary.
What do those words mean? Here are Merriam-Webster’s definitions:
Cisgender: of, relating to, or being a person whose gender identity corresponds with the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth.
Genderqueer: of, relating to, or being a person whose gender identity cannot be categorized as solely male or female.
The additions reflect how society is expanding its discussions over gender identity, gender expression, and transgender issues: As conversations about gender broaden, the vocabulary used in these conversations is set to change, too.

How I Learned to Accept My Queerness as a Muslim Woman
This is my interpretation of Islam. I believe it to be more powerful to resist hatred, than to sink into it and succumb. I believe it to be more powerful to love what we don’t know, or understand, then to disregard it. I’ve always thought of faith as a selfless practice. To love others, with no hope of a reward, is nirvana.
