Random wonderings...

None of this is said sarcastically. These are random thoughts while procrastinating (well, not really, was working on my site) on finishing Sto's House:

I find the words "homosexual" and "heterosexual" to be incorrect terminologies for this day and age. Following the etymology as it should be used, wouldn't the term "monosexual" be a better term that covers both? By using that term, it brings straight, gay and lesbian under one word. It also makes more sense using that term along with bisexual, polysexual (meaning more than one, but not necessary all genders) and pansexual (meaning any and all).

Following the randomness of thought... wouldn't that also make asexual and incorrect term? Wouldn't that mean not attracted to any gender (which, if you're not, it's correct for you!), but if you are meaning that you don't identify as any gender, wouldn't you be agendered? The way that transgendered means (I think) that you aren't identified completely as either gender (so the etymology says).

Of course, then this rambling thought makes me wonder how the term "transsexual" fits in, because it doesn't fit in with the etymological structure of homosexual, etc. and seems to fit definition-wise with transgendered...

And I have NO idea where 'queer' fits in, because etymologically, it means odd, oblique or strange...
