“LGBTTQQI2S”

Maybe a translation of the title would help. I can take some guesses!

“LGBTTQQI2S”

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, 2 Spirited.

Intersex is one born with ambiguous genitalia due to birth defect.

2 Spirited is something to do with Native Americans who take on gender roles of both men and women--I don't know why they get their own category.

As far as I can deduce, Transgender seems to be a cross-dresser, contented with their body but not the associated gender roles, while a Transexual is one who wants to change their physical body.

Queer appears to be a "catch all" and "Questioning" are those who don't know what they are.

IMHO, ignorance is bliss ;-)
