a list of genders/sexualities

hello my name is quillflight and i'm trying to find out every single damn sexuality and gender that exists

is this becuase im having a gender crisis? maybe

feel free to post and tell me genders/sexualities i missed lol

ALSO!!! please tell me if any of my definitions are offensive!!! i'm very sensitive and if i get called out on anything i will cry!!

(this does not mean you cant tell me i did something wrong just dont do it in an accusing manner pls)

genders

female - one of the binary genders

male - one of the binary genders

agender- a person who does not have a gender

non-binary- a person with a gender identity that does not fit in the binary

demigirl- a person who feels a partial connection to being female

demiboy- a person who feels a partial connection to being male

demigender- a person who feels a partial connection to being non-binary

genderfluid- a person who fluctuates between genders

bigender- a person who identifies with 2 genders

sexualities

heterosexual/straight- a person who is attracted to the opposite gender

homosexual/gay- a person who is attracted to the same gender

gay- a man who is attracted to other men /a person who is attracted to the same gender (a lesbian can also say "im gay")

lesbian- a woman who is attracted to other women

bisexual- an attraction to 2 or more genders

pansexual- attraction regardless of gender

polyamorous- a person who wishes to have a relationship with multiple people at a time (this is NOT cheating, all members have consented to dating)

gynosexual - a person who is attracted to femininity

androsexual- a person who is attracted to masculinity

skoliosexual- a person who is attracted to non-binary people

demisexual- only feeling sexual attraction after a significant bond is formed

asexual - a lack of sexual attraction

I think from my understanding of it, demigender is more like a gender which is closely aligned to something, but not quite there. Its consistent, just not so solidly in one gender. Demigirl being close to girl, demiboy being close to boy, but also partly not that gender? I could be wrong though, I tend to interpret things sorta literally haha

For sexualities there is also asexual - lack of attraction to anyone regardless of gender. You can be asexual and still have romantic attraction to other people though! aromantic is a separate identity :)

Anyways, good luck in figuring out your own gender! From my experience it can be confusing to try and find the "right" label ^^" Personally I identify as nonbinary although by literal definition I think I more closely align with agender? I kind of view it as agender being under a nonbinary umbrella though, since having no gender means existing outside the "binary"

Afab and amab are not genders, they are inclusive terms to identify which sex a person was assigned at birth regardless of which sex or gender they go by today.

I bet you already know the term cisgender as opposed to the transgender umbrella, but I'll say it anyway. The trans umbrella generally includes any gender that falls under the sub-umbrella terms Transsexual, Non-Binary and Genderfluid. Your gender may fall under multiple categories at once, though. You might wanna order some of these more specific terms into their respective umbrellas, however I'm not too educated on all of them so I won't mention any of those specific ones, but there are still a lot missing here.

You might wanna add the umbrella terms gynosexual and androsexual, which are not only useful for those who do not identify within the binary but are still only attracted to either women or men, but also convenient so you don't have to say "gay men and straight women" and "lesbians and straight men" all the time. Also there is skoliosexual, when you're only attracted to Non-Binary folk and demisexual, when you're only attracted to people with whom you have a close bond.

Also, I'm a bisexual transsexual male, if that's relevant. 

^oh apologies

gonna fix it

Honestly there are... a LOT of genders and sexualities, many more than listed here, but there's no way I could possibly list them all. I highly suggest this website which is pretty comprehensive of a lot of newer terminology. A lot of people treat xenogenders and stuff with derision but tbh I don't know where we personally would be without them-- some folks here really resonate with some. But you got a lot of the more well-known ones!

One other is heteroflexible, which is dubbed as “mostly straight” and can be in a romantic/sexual way. Not the best at defining things, so id recommend googling it. And tbh... the heteroflex flag is pretty cool

Plus aro (aromantic) which is usually listed as ace/aro (asexual/aromantic) but isn’t the same thing. As @Devil’s Advocate said, there are TONS AND TONS of sexualities, genders, and other orientations that like 98% of the world doesn’t know about 

Not that anybody asked, but I’m currently trying to figure my shit out, and am currently hovering near bi/pan/flex although who knows? I might end up as lesbian lmfao. Anyways, hope that was somewhat helpful, and good luck finding more ^^
