Many transphobic people use “science” to disprove trans and nonbinary people, but many of them are uneducated in that area. Science is actually advancing rapidly, proving that gender and sex are not the same. The gender spectrum has even been proven, and is being used in many sociology and psychology professionals. Here are just a few resources that cover this:

Some people may know what genderflux mean, but a lot of people don't. Gendeflux is a gender identity where the intensity fluctuates. It is often times seen as a form of gender fluid, between a gender identity and agender. However, this is not always the case. For example, a genderflux person could feel 80% female one day, and 30% female the next day. A gender fluid person's gender identity, on the other hand, is the gender identity itself fluctuating.
Obviously, I didn't include them all. I'll be updating this list in the future. SEXUALITY:
Heterosexual- The attraction to a gender different from their own (commonly used to describe someone who is gender binary [female or male] attracted to the other binary gender). Homosexual- The attraction to a gender the same as their own (commonly used to describe someone who is gender binary [female or male] attracted to the same binary gender). Sometimes referred to as gay. Lesbian- Women who are attracted only to other women Bisexual- When you are attracted to two or more genders. This term is generally used to describe being attracted to men and women, but can apply to being attracted to any two or more genders. Note that you do not have to be equally attracted to each gender. Pansexual- When you are attracted to all genders and/or do not concern gender when you are attracted towards someone Bicurious- People who are open to experiment with genders that are not only their own, but do not know if they are open to forming any sort of relationship with multiple genders. Polysexual- When you are attracted to many genders Monosexual- Being attracted to only one gender Allosexual- When you are not asexual (attracted to at least one gender) Androsexual- Being attracted to masculine gender presentation Gynosexual- Being attracted to feminine gender presentation Questioning- People who are debating their own sexuality/gender Asexual- Not experiencing sexual attraction (note that you can also be aromantic and you do not necessarily have to be asexual and aromantic at the same time). Sometimes the term, ace, is used to describe asexuals. Demisexual- When you only experience sexual attraction after forming a strong emotional bond first or a romantic bond Grey Asexual- When you only experience attraction rarely, on a very low scale, or only under certain circumstances Perioriented- When your sexual and romantic orientation targets the same gender (for example being heteromantic and heterosexual or being biromantic and bisexual) Varioriented- When your sexual and romantic orientations do not target the same set of genders (for example being heteromantic and bisexual or being homoromantic and pansexual) Heteronormative- The belief that hetersexuality is the norm and that sex, gender, sexuality, and gender roles all align Erasure- Ignoring the existence of genders and sexualities in the middle of the spectrum Cishet- Someone who is both cisgendered and heterosexual. This is sometimes used as a slur. Polyamorous- An umbrella term referring to people who have or are open to have consensually have relationships with multiple people at the same time Monoamorous- People who have or or open to have relationships with only one other person at a time. The term, monogamous, is also sometimes used. Queer- A reclaimed slur for anybody in the LGBT+ community or who do not identify as cisgender and/or hetersexual/heteromantic Ally- A supporter of the LGBT+ community that does not identify as LGBT+ GENDER: Sex- Your assigned gender at birth and/or the gender of your reproductive organs Gender- Where you feel that you personally fall on the spectrum between male and female. Commonly people identify as male or female, but some fall in the middle or move throughout the spectrum. Cisgender- When you identify with the gender you were assigned at birth Transgender- When you identify with a gender different than that you were assigned at birth. (This includes any gender that falls into the nonbinary spectrum of gender. I'm not going to include all genders at the moment, but I will add them in the future!) Transsexual- When you have had Gender Reassignment Surgery (GRS) to change the sexual organs you were born with to that of a different gender. |
