So in my free time I've been teaching myself Pidgin Signed English, a form of sign-language that combines ASL (American Sign Language) and regular American English. I learned ASL in elementary school for about 2 or 3 years, and was pretty good at holding basic conversations.
But I forgot most of it over the years besides the alphabet, religious signs, dirty words, and random words like dinosaur and mustache that were just fun to know. I decided recently that I really wanted to learn again, and I've officially been obsessed with signing the last few weeks.
While searching to see if there was a sign for genderfluid (after finding there was one for transgender), I came across this video of some ASL signs for some common LGBTQA+ identities and terms. Check it out!!
