After a discussion in main, I have decided to make this thread. Any contributions are welcome to go into more percific details about the mentioned or something new. Any amendments I need do message me, I want this to be accurate
Gener identity
Gener identity is how someone presents in society, three are widely recognised in society with more becoming relavent as more people explore their identity.
Cisgender
You you won't know what this means if you're new to the community but cisgender means same gender as born as. This is your male/female at birth, XX/XY chromosome people that are comfortable with their identity.
Transgender
These are people who don't feel comfortable in their genders at birth and decide they feel more comfortable as the other gender. They will take a form of hormone replacement therapy to help them transition with other physical methods of doing so like wearing a binder (ftm) or top+bottom surgery (both)
Non-binary
These people are in the middle of male-female if you view it like a spectrum, they don't feel comforable as either traditionally.
I won't cover anything else that falls under this in the bulk as I would be here all day so if anything pops up I'll add it.
Sexualities
This is who you love, this can be based on the gender of the person or not. There are multiple different sexualities so I'll cover the 4 most people will come across in their lives.
Heterosexual
This is someone who loves the opposite gender, literally that's the meaning in Latin or something. You might know this as straight.
Homosexual
These are people who love the same gender they present as, literally that's the meaning in Latin or something. You might know these people as gay/lesbian. Lesbians are female homosexuals (Google) while gay means all homosexuals.
Bisexual
These are people that love both, the same gender they present as and the opposite gender. Guess what? It means that in Latin too. Not everyone that is bi uses this definition as some define it as attracted two or more genders. This is shortened to bi frequently.
These people might have a preference too, this is called Omni not everyone that is bi is Omni.
Pansexual
These are people that love those that see past gender when falling in love. I don't know if it translates to Latin the same but I do know it isn't people that love pots and pans... . This is shortened to pan.
These people might be on a spectrum with a preference, this is called Omni not everyone that is pan is Omni.
Anything else that sits in this description I won't cover in the bulk as I would be here all day, again so I'll add anything that pops up.

Abrosexual
Abrosexual is a term to describe people who frequently have changing sexualities. Everyone is different, some only flux between a few sexualities, some flux between all. It’s based on what we’re feeling or what our environment is like. For me I personally change depending on if I have any crushes at the moment. I flux between aro, pan, bi, lesbian, and questioning. Abroromantic is also under the abro umbrella. It’s just basically having a fluid romantic attraction rather then a sexual attraction.
