(For those who get the reference u are so cool 😎 )
I don't think anyone could explain every LGBTQIA+ term ever, there's just way too many. I'll explain some that you may see more often though.
Transgender: a gender identity in which one doesnt identify with their agab
Non-binary: a gender identity that falls outside of the gender binary (can be used as a stand-alone identity or umbrella term!)
agender: a lack of gender
genderfluid: a gender identity in which ones gender is fluid between genders
genderfae: a form of genderfluid that never encompasses male-aligned genders
genderfaun: a form of genderfluid that never encompasses female-aligned genders
bigender: a gender identity in which one experiences two distinct genders
bigenderfluid: a gender identity in which one experiences two distinct genders, and is fluid between them
demigender (demigirl, demiboy, etc): a non-binary gender that has a partial connection to another gender
libragender (librafeminine, libramasculine, etc): a gender identity in which ones gender is mostly agender, but 1-49% of another gender
pansexual: the attraction to everyone, regardless of gender
omnisexual: the attraction to everyone
polysexual: the attraction to multiple genders
bisexual: the attraction to more than one gender
berrisexual: the attraction to primarily women & non-binary people, with a slight/rare attraction to men
almondsexual: the opposite of berrisexual, the attraction to men & non-binary people, with a slight/rare attraction to women
i should also include...
neptunic: the attraction to women, feminine aligned enby (non-binary) people, and neutral aligned enby people
uranic: the attraction to men, masculine aligned enby people, and neutral aligned enby people
enbian: when an enby person is attracted to other enby people, exclusively or not
trixic: the attraction to women
toric: the attraction to men
(my bad if i got anything wrong)
Is that like the furthest layer down BTW?
Such that these listed identities don’t encompass any other identities?
some of them do, some of them dont
It’s like an infinite lasagna.

Is this a reference to Sugar (or Spice I forget) in that skit from Rupaul season 15?
I have no idea what u are talking abt bro, but ig close enough?
Sad
Lol
Thank you!!!!

While a lot of terms were mentioned above, I do want to bring attention to a few other identities:
Neutrois: What I am, basically trans nonbinary, where someone feels a neutral gender or prefers to look/present completely gender neutral (void of either sex characteristics), and often likes to be referred to as only gender neutral things (sometimes even avoiding terms they feel are too gendered for them)
Asexual: Another thing I am, basically you don't feel any sexual attraction to anyone (sexual attraction sometimes being compared to as a kind of craving for someone else in ways that could be considered sexual)
Demisexual: Basically asexual but you feel sexual attraction only to someone you feel really close to emotionally
Graysexual: Basically asexual but you may experience very occasional sexual attraction under very certain circumstances, or you may experience sexual attraction differently than others (from my understanding)
Aromantic: You don't feel romantic attraction to anybody (romantic attraction being described by me as a very strong emotion, but I'm not as much as an expert on this so I could be wrong)
Demiromantic: You feel romantic attraction only to those you get very close to emotionally
Grayromantic: You feel romantic attraction very occasionally, under very specific circumstances, or you feel romantic attraction differently than others (from my understanding)
And there are also plenty more in the asexual and aromantic spectrums, but those are the more common ones I've seen.
Other ones that I understand are:
Fraysexual: You feel sexual attraction upon meeting/seeing someone, but that fades over time
Frayromantic: You feel romantic attraction upon meeting/seeing someone, but that fades over time
Fictosexual: You feel sexual attraction only to fictional characters
Fictoromantic: You feel romantic attraction only to fictional characters
Reciprosexual: You feel sexual attraction to someone else that feels that way about you, or you feel sexual attraction to that person only when you know for sure they're feeling that way about you (feelings must be mutual, for example, you have to have already liked that person either romantically or platonically)
Reciproromantic: You feel romantic attraction to someone else that feels that way about you, or you feel romantic attraction to that person only when you know for sure they're feeling that way about you (feelings must be mutual, you have to have already liked that person either platonically or sexually)
Q for aro/aces: How do you know you're not demi/gray?
Because we don't experience any attraction ever. However, if attraction is felt eventually at one point, then we can change our identity. For example, my partner thought she was full aroace until she met me, then, when we got much closer and she started feeling romantic and sexual attraction towards me, she realized she was actually demiromantic and demisexual
Yes that's what I mean
It's a possibility you haven't found the right one
You just don't know
But atm you can be aro/ace until some future date
Because ppl do suck overall lmao
I'm fully asexual, but not fully aromantic, and I am very close to my partner and still never felt sexual attraction, and I really like being with her, so, for some of us, that's just who we are
Alright. I was just letting you know that there are still a lot of aro/ace people who never feel attraction, but I understand where you're coming from. After all, identities can be fluid at times, but we can call ourselves whatever feels right at the moment
Yeah I think your last point is spot on
Also you can be romantically attracted to your partner but not sexually and still not not be asexual. It could just be you're not sexually attracted to the partner you're with. (Speaking generally)
Yeah, that can be true, though typically people like that are some type of asexual (like graysexual), even if not fully ace
Yeah for sure
Wow, Thanks bro
Can @lusty nexus please explain what aroace is
Pls?
Aroace is aromantic and asexual in one term
It's what the person above me said. Aroace is when you feel little to no sexual attraction (asexual), and when you feel little to no romantic attraction (aromantic). It can also be used as an umbrella term for those who feel as though they are on both the aromantic and asexual spectrums. For example, a grayromantic demisexual person could still be considered aroace since they're on both the aromantic and asexual spectrum. There are also people who are just full aroace, where they identify as both full aromantic and full asexual. Aro stands for aromantic and ace stands for asexual
Thanks
Thanks 🙏
My statement still holds. LGBT is like an infinite lasagna where we kinda don’t know all the ingredients because there’s too many to memorize and new ones keep appearing.
Hmmm, so we all are lasagna but made up of different ingredients, and we can change those ingredients for ones we like? :3
I guess… I mainly used the lasagna analogy to describe the structure of LGBT identities, given some are derived from others and new ones keep appearing.
yea, thats what I mean :3
