Mother Hen – G’day! What an exaustive list. A lot of hard work on your part. Thank you.


As for your little test: AAPS – without resorting to googling, it could mean you are an Associate of the Australian P Society, with the ‘P’ being pysiotherapist or psychologist or pychologist or photographic or ??? With the F in FAPS being an upgrade to ‘Fellow of’. (Although one normally transits from Associate to Member to Fellow.) Then the ‘I’ in AFIAP could be “international’. By the way, what’s the prize? And of course, if the replacement and addition means an upgrade in your eminent status, we all say “congratulations”.


I would have gone the same direction.


BTW Motherhen your link http://www.letsgophotography.com doesn’t open for me….anyone else having problems

It was the Homosexual part being offensive that I personally wasn’t sure about either, that is just what the web site said so I thought I’d rather put it in and get some feedback on it and er on the side of caution.


You done good motherhen…..you done real good. You have come from an almost zero knowledge base on terminology to being more informed than the average LGBTTIQQSSATSXYZ person….hehe.


to answer the question about the word homosexual being offensive.


The word homosexual is a relatively new word which first appeared in 1869 in a pamphlet in Germany. Next it appeared in a book Discovery of the Soul in 1880 and in 1886, Richard von Krafft-Ebing used the terms homosexual and heterosexual in his book Psychopathia Sexualis,


From that point on it was only used in a clinical context as referred to someone who was ‘abnormal’ ,dysfunctional and as a pathology.


So it didn’t have good connotations. some of that has been removed as more scientific research has been done on sexual orientation.


If gay and lesbian people liked the word then they wouldn’t have come up with terms like camp or gay.


if homosexual is being used in a clinical sense when differentiating between homosexual or heterosexual then that is okay…..but there is a better way. eg gay or lesbian or LGBT…..depending on whether we are talking about gender or a community.


it is particularly offensive when used with other words such as



  • homosexual relationship

  • homosexual lifestyle

  • homosexual people

  • homosexual agenda


You will notice that some very anti-gay christian leaders refuse to use new terminology and will only ever use the word homosexual.


does that make more sense?


….and dont forget ‘practising homosexual’……we hate that.

another term you might like to add to the list of offensive terms motherhen is hermaphrodite (do you know how to edit your original post)


This is the term previously used for Intersex people. Originally a medical term as a condition/disorder it was eventually rejected as a label by the intersex community.
