LGBTQ Terminology in the Celtic Languages

Image
As it is LGBTQ History Month in the United Kingdom, here at the Association of Celtic Students of Ireland and Britain, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate the diverse community of speakers and learners of Celtic languages by exploring the growing lexicon of LGBTQ terms in the Celtic languages. If you are an ally or are LGBTQ yourself, here you can find a quick overview of terms to bolster your personal vocabulary with more inclusive language to make everyone feel welcome in our community. And, most importantly, if you know any additional or alternative terminology, we would love to hear from you in our comments section below! Cymraeg  Welsh brings a broad LGBTQ vocabulary, with what you can see here only being a selection of the extensive list offered by Stonewall Cymru which you can find here . Masculine Pronoun: Fe. Feminine Pronoun: Hi. Neutral Pronoun: Nhw. Anneuaidd Non-binary Anrhywiol Asexual Aromantig Aromanti

Druids and Dice

  Dungeons and Dragon 5th Edition's symbol for the 'Druid' Class.       The world's largest Tabletop Roleplaying Game (TTRPG), Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), is a cultural juggernaut that Celticists should not (or, can not) ignore. Set in predominantly pseudo-medieval/late Renaissance fantasy worlds, D&D has increasingly influenced the perception of  historical authenticity and the fantasy genre. Since the publication of the 5th Edition of D&D in 2014, the game's popularity has skyrocketed, with 2020 seeing a 33% increase in sales, and the crowdfunding campaign for an animated TV series based on a Critical Role, a popular weekly live streamed D&D campaign from fans, raising $11,385,449.       This popularity is something that cannot be ignored, as students who sit down in Celtic Studies classes or members of the general public have likely been introduced to concepts that will be covered through D&D (or through D&D influenced pop-culture), such

Pride Month: Medieval Ireland

Image
With Pride Month kicking off this week, those of us here at the Association of Celtic Students thought we should celebrate it in a way that only we can: with obtuse amounts of very niche academic knowledge! Since we have already covered LGBTQ vocabularies for Celtic languages , today I am here to talk to you all about two of my biggest passions, medieval Ireland and historical queerness. Historical queerness is often a topic that is challenging to engage with, especially as a non-academic. While there have always been transgender people, intersex people, people who are attracted to the same sex, people who don't experience sexual attraction, or have gender expressions outside of modern binaries, tracking down examples of these historical figures can be challenging. Some wheres and whens, people like this couldn't (or still can't) publicly express themselves for fear of reprisal in one form or another, leaving historical attestations rare and uncertain. In some wheres and wh
