A new acronym spawned from transgendered youth groups and activities in the Bay Area. Where LGBT stands for "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered," TGIQ stands for "Trans, Genderqueer, Intersexed, and Questioning."

Maybe the queer spectrum should be written out like this:

   L           Q

G I
B G
T

or, of course, maybe not, especially given that many intersex people do not identify as differently-gendered in any way.

Can also, felicitously, be read as "Thank Goodness I'm Queer!"
