 Language is a living breathing thing, so the folks at Dictionary.com routinely update their site with new words and definitions. This month alone, 1,700 terms were updated and 300 new words were added—a number of which are relevant to the LGBT community.

“Intersectionality,” which made the cut, has increasingly become part of the conversation when talking about discrimination against women, people of color and non-cisgender/heterosexual people.

 The site defines intersectionality as “the theory that the overlap of various social identities, as race, gender, sexuality, and class, contributes to the specific type of systemic oppression and discrimination experienced by an individual.”

“Originally an academic term, intersectionality is now widely used in popular culture to frame and analyze discussions, most recently about Beyoncé’s visual album Lemonade,” explains the Dictionary.com blog.

 Other queer-centric terms include “hijra,” “misgender,” “panromantic,” and “ze,” a pronoun alternative to the masculine “he” and feminine “she.”
