This is a continuation of the following pieces:

    * What is Trans*
    * What is Sex
    * Expression, Role, and Identity: Gender

I took a break to give everyone time to digest those pieces and to be ready for the ones coming up.

Today I will talk about one aspect of intersectionality: in particular, how it is that one can be gay or trans or straight or cis, and still be something else, even temporarily.

It's called Situational Membership, and it affects most of the LGBT community in one way or another, and reaches outside us, into the wider world.
