Did you learn this from television?

Now, I’m mainly monolingual and not much into sociology but surely there are several examples of hybrid Latin/Greek words in common use?

Thanks Dave, that's me learned what the "I" was as I heard LGBTQI recently and was baffled.
Cheers,

I had to google this yesterday after some people I know were using it on social media and its blown my mind.
Cisgender (sometimes cissexual, often abbreviated to simply cis) is a term for people whose gender identity matches the sex that they were assigned at birth. For example, someone who identifies as a woman and was assigned female at birth is a cisgender woman. The term cisgender is the opposite of the word transgender.[
"and was assigned female at birth" - by whom? The Baby Jesus, presumably. I bet he was a bender too.

You’re right. There actually quite a few and automobile and petroleum being two! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_word

Shows that I didn’t study classics at school! :?

Funny how some like semi-sphere would just be looked upon as weird and wrong whereas others become accepted - some technical/medical ones too, like neonate.

Rev - consider me eating humilem crustum :lol:

Some argue for the full version to have ‘APK’ on the end...

I’ll let you google :lol:

Aren’t there about 70 odd genders now? I bet he could identify as an LSx if he wanted.

in all seriousness - I’m not a Boomer or a millennial (neither are you?), but do you actually think 70 genders are actually required Or is it people just trying to get attention?
