Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity – A Complete Glossary
Welcome to the colorful world of sexual orientation and gender identity. It’s a realm teeming with a rich tapestry of terms and concepts, each with its unique story. This glossary is an invitation to dive into the depths of the LGBTQIA+ community, where every term holds a weight of meaning and significance.
Whether you’re a student, an ally, or an individual questioning your identity, this guide is a valuable tool for navigating the diverse landscape of gender and sexuality.
Gay
A man who is attracted to other men, whether romantically, sexually, or emotionally. The term is used to describe a man who is only attracted to other men, but it can also be used to describe anyone of any gender who is attracted to someone of the same gender, no matter how strong or intense that attraction is.
Lesbian
A lesbian is a woman who is attracted to other women romantically, sexually, or emotionally. The term describes a woman who is exclusively attracted to other women. Still, it can also be used as an umbrella term to include any woman who is attracted to other women.
Bisexual
A person who is attracted to both men and women, whether romantically, sexually, or emotionally. Bisexuality refers to the capacity for attraction to people of multiple genders; it doesn’t mean that a person is equally attracted to all genders, and one can experience different degrees of attraction at different times.
Transexual
A person whose gender identity does not match the sex they were assigned at birth. They may identify as a different gender or as having no gender. People who are transgender may transition medically and/or socially; this transition can include but is not limited to hormone replacement therapy, surgeries, and/or name and pronoun change.
Queer
A term that has been reclaimed by the LGBTQIA+ community and can be used as an umbrella term for all people who are not heterosexual and/or cisgender or as a more specific identity for people who reject binary and/or traditional gender and sexual norms. It’s not necessarily a sexual orientation but encompasses a spectrum of non-heteronormative identities.
Intersex
A person whose biological sex characteristics do not fit traditional binary notions of male or female bodies. The Intersex Society of North America defined intersex as “a general term used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male.
Asexual
A person who does not experience sexual attraction. Asexuality exists on a spectrum, and some people may experience a low level of sexual attraction or attraction only under specific circumstances, called graysexual or demisexual.
Ally
A person who supports and stands up for the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Being an ally means actively working on challenging discrimination and supporting equal rights, listening to and learning from LGBTQIA+ people, and using their privilege to help make the world more inclusive.
Pansexual (“pan”)
A sexual orientation that describes a person who is attracted to people of all gender identities. This can include people who identify as cisgender, transgender, gender non-conforming, gender fluid, or non-binary. For a pansexual person, the gender of a person is not a factor in their attraction, and they may be attracted to individuals who identify as male, female, neither or any combination of genders. Pansexuality can also be considered an attraction that goes beyond the traditional male/female binary and includes a wider range of gender identities. Some people may use the term pansexual to explicitly reject the gender binary, seeing it as restrictive or meaningless in describing their attraction. People who identify as pansexual may also use other labels, such as queer, to describe their attraction.
Non-binary
Non-binary is a term that describes individuals who do not identify as exclusively male or female. They may identify as neither, a combination of genders, or a gender different from the one they were assigned at birth. They may also use other terms such as genderqueer, genderfluid, or bigender to describe their identities and express their gender identity through clothing, hairstyles, pronouns, and/or medical transitioning. Non-binary individuals still fight for recognition and rights in many societies, but their existence and experiences are valid and deserve respect and understanding.
Questioning
Questioning is a journey of self-discovery. It’s an ongoing process of exploring one’s sexuality, gender identity, and gender expression. It’s a journey of self-discovery that allows us to understand and accept ourselves and find a sense of belonging. It also denotes the inclusion of individuals who question their identities and their place in the LGBTQIA+ community.
Gender expression
Gender expression is an individual’s unique way of communicating their gender identity to the world. It’s how one presents themselves through appearance, behavior, and self-expression. Gender expression is a form of self-expression and a personal choice; it’s a means of expressing our individuality and creativity.
