“sistergirl and brotherboy”?
What the?
You’re going to love this. I’d never heard the term sistergirl before so I googled it. As far as I can tell, it’s a transgender person from the Australian Indigenous community. In other words, race is now recognised as a legitimate reason to create another gender.
From the ‘Sistergirl Conference:’
Discussions at the First National Sistergirl Forum,
between traditional/semi-traditional and urban
sistergirls around sistergirl identity proved to be
sometimes volatile but ultimately constructive.
The discussions revealed some insecurities about
ownership of personal identities and whether some
people were claiming an identity that could rightly
be called their own without fear of offending one
or the other identified groups. All delegates agreed
that sistergirl includes two sub-groups, ‘sister’
and ‘sistergirl’. ‘Sister’ is the terminology for
an individual who may identify as gay, whilst a
‘sistergirl’ is clearly an individual who has
transgender qualities.
