Lavender linguistics

Lavender linguistics is like a special way that people talk about things that relate to being LGBTQIA+. Just like how we have different languages to talk about different things like animals, colors, or where someone is from, lavender linguistics is a special way of talking about things that are important for people who are LGBTQIA+.

People who use lavender linguistics might use special words, like calling someone "queer" or "non-binary" instead of just saying "gay" or "man" or "woman." They might also use different pronouns, like "they/them" instead of "he/him" or "she/her."

It's important to use lavender linguistics so that we can talk about being LGBTQIA+ in a way that is respectful and accurate. It's like if we were trying to talk about animals, we wouldn't just call every animal "dog" because that wouldn't be right - we need to use the right words to describe things properly. And lavender linguistics helps us do that for LGBTQIA+ issues.
