~ LGBTQ+ ~ (READ THE TOP COMMENT, PLEASE. I MADE THIS PROJECT WHEN I WAS YOUNG) Don't spam space if you don't want it to glitch Please read this whole section, there are important things in here. If this subject makes you feel uncomfortable, please click away instead of leaving hate. --LGBTQ+ DICTIONARY-- 2-Spirit: A person who has both a masculine and feminine spirit, especially in a Native American community.

Bisexual: A person who feels romantic attractions to two or more genders. Cisgender: A person who identifies as the gender they were assigned to at birth. Coming Out: Telling someone you are close to that you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Discrimination: Unfairly condemning someone to something Demigender: Partially but not fully of their gender Exclusionist: A person who thinks that some parts of the LGBTQ+ acronym shouldn't be in the community. (Mainly targeted at asexuals, but I've also seen it toward pansexuals and even trans people) Gay: Having a sexual or romantic attraction to people of your gender, especially used in the context of men who love exclusively other men Gender non-conforming: People whose gender presentation doesn't align with their gender identity Genderfluid: Not having one gender for a long period, often changing gender. Heteroflexible: 'Mostly straight'- leaning towards attraction to another gender, but with a mild attraction to the same gender. Heterosexual: Another word for straight. Someone who feels a romantic attraction to someone of a different gender. (normally ManxWoman) Homoflexible: 'Mostly gay'- leaning towards attraction to the same gender, but with a mild attraction to a different gender. Homophobe: A person who is intolerant toward LGBTQ+ Homosexual: Another more technical word for gay. Someone who feels a sexual attraction to someone of their gender. Intersex: A person who was born with any variant to gender characteristics Lesbian: A woman who feels a romantic attraction to other women Non-binary: Not defining or born as male or female (the "binary" genders) Non-cisgender: Not cisgender- can be trans people, non-binary people, and cis demigender folks (by which I mean AMAB demiboys and AFAB demigirls) Omnisexual: A person who feels attraction to all genders, but with preferences. Pansexual: A person who feels attraction to EVERY gender, without preferences. (Genderblind attraction) Straight: Same as heterosexual; attraction to the opposite gender (the most common sexuality; not part of LGBTQ+- in case you were wondering) Tolerance: Acceptance of LGBTQ+ Transgender: A person who defines as the opposite gender as the one they were born with. Hasn't gotten medical treatment to physically change their gender. Transphobe: A person who hates transgender people Transsexual: A person who has gotten medical treatment to change their physicality, in order to match their gender identity (NOTE - this term is generally seen as outdated) Xenogender: A gender that exists outside of the binary male/female. It's important to note that not all trans people (myself included) accept xenogenders as "real" trans people, because they don't have scientific backing. Queer: Anyone in LGBTQ+ Questioning: The act of questioning one's sexual orientation(s) or gender. --FACTS/NOTES/TIPS-- - Never assume gender, it could be very hurtful. - Romantic and sexual attraction are different for some people, but if you feel both in a particular way, you're normally just called 'straight' or 'bi' or 'gay'. - most kids don't feel sexual attraction because... yeah - Try not to say 'boys and girls' or 'ladies and gents' or anything- try saying 'humans' or 'people' or 'guys, gals, and non-binary pals!' - Don't feel the need to label yourself. You might be in a category of your own, unique, awesome self ;) - Suggest facts for me to put here, please! --CREDITS-- Thanks to who curated this on the 9th of January! You made my day!
