LGBTQ+ Identity Dicitonary

LGBTQ+ Term Explinations cause I feel like it's needed considering I'm writing an LGBTQ+ book.

This may or may not be updated with things as I think of them.

Also, this will be rather limited due to my just sitting here and trying to remember enough words to be anything sufficient.

And yes I don't care how common the word is I'm gonna define it anyway, there's always people who don't know.

This first group is the sexuality spectrum. These words are used to identify what gender/s people are sexually attracted to.

Heterosexual: Someone who's sexually attracted to the opposite gender.

Homosexual (Gay, Lesbian): Someone who's sexually attracted to the same gender as they are.

Bisexual: Someone who's sexually attracted to two genders, generally male and female.

Pansexual: Someone who's sexually attracted all genders

Demisexual: Someone who's only sexually attracted to someone after they form a deep emotional connection with them.

Grey Asexual: This means different things for different people, but it generally means people who experience sexual attraction very rarely.

Asexual: Someone who's not sexually attracted to anyone

There's also the more specific romantic spectrum. This is sort of another layer to the sexuality spectrum. Basically take the prefix from a sexuality, and put it in front of romantic and it means the same thing, but in romantic terms. If a woman says they're biromantic but heterosexual, this means they're romantically attracted to both binary genders, but are only sexually attracted to men.

There's also the gender spectrum. This is how people choose to present themselves and be known as.

Transgender: Generally means someone who identifies as the opposite gender as they were assigned at birth.

Trans*: Umbrella term for the gender spectrum. Anyone who doesn't completely identify as the gender they were assigned at birth.

Demiboy/Demigirl: Identifying partially as a boy/girl and partially as something else. Doesn't identify quite enough with boy/girl to consider themselves transgender.

Bigender: Identifying with two genders, either simultaneously or varying between them.

Genderfluid: Being fluid between two or more genders.

Genderqueer/Non-binary: Identifying as somewhere in between the gender binary, male and female. These can both be used as umbrella terms for the spectrum or as individual identities. (There are differences between the two, but I'm not 100% sure what they are as well as the words mean similar things. That's why they're in one catagory.)

Agender: Genderless

I obviously missed plenty, and if you have some that I should add just tell me. 

But anyway, there's some definitions for LGBTQ+ identities in case you wanted to know.
