Admin: Defining our terms
Apr. 13th, 2009 12:08 pm[Admin post current as of April 20, 2009]
[Update: The use of "my" is referring to myself,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
passerine. However, my spouse, invisionary also tends to use these terms in approximately the same way, and this list is evolving into a joint creation.]
[Update April 20, 2009 for new terms: "Do Me Feminism", "Gifted & Talented", "Invisible Disability", "Sex-Positive", "Twice-Exceptional".]
The purpose of this post is to define terms that may not be familiar to my readers. I tried to state my definition for terms that have often-debated definitions (Attachment Parenting, feminism, etc.) as well as to explain terms that are specific to certain subcultures or areas of study (Dominionist, Evidence-Based Treatment, etc.) and to explain particular terms my social circle uses that may or may not exist outside it (Adolescent Content and Depressed Logic are two examples of that).
Basically, if you see me use a term in my writing, and you're either not sure what it means in general or not sure what I mean by my use of it, see if it's in this post. If I missed something, feel free to ask me to define it. As usual, anonymous comments are screened and will be unscreened at my discretion.
