FAQ 🤔

What is this project about?

The idea of this site is to collactivly provide information on queer (and non queer) identities in one place. It covers different fields and is supposed to work as a starting point to talk about these complicated topics.
In my opinion having a common foundation in our everyday language is key to improve how we treat one another in a society, now and in the future. Having a place to quickly check up definitions could help us to achieve just that.

Is this project politically motivated?

Yes, and no. While I follow my own ideals and concepts, I see this site mainly as an information platform that is not supposed to be opiononated.
That being said, the content of this page is moderated to keep the content credible and trolls out.
Rule of thumb: Be nice. 🤗💙

What kind of language do you use?

I try to keep everything gender neutral or at least gender inclusive. For some descriptions this is pretty hard. So please feel free to improve the wording and content.
To achieve gender neutral/inclusive language, I've decided to use singluar "they". If this sounds strange to you, that's ok. However please be respectful and accept my choice. If you want to find out more about singluar "they" here's a good and entertaining resource for that.
In some occations I also rely on using the asterisks (*) to indicate people who aren't automatically associated with certain terms or who sort of fall inbetween categories.
This is often known as the gender star.

Who decides what makes it into the listings?

For now, that's me. To do so, I research the content and try not to be too opionated while also trying my hardest to keep the list organised and clean.

I currently work on this project all by myself in my freetime besides having a fulltime job. So please understand if I don't answer emidiatly.
Thank you for contributing! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

What's comming next?

First of: More content.
Then there is the full release [TBA]. There will be many UI/UX improvements over time.
Other then that, we will see.
I also hope to eventually support multiple languages as well. But this will not be a topic for now.
