Ya’ll. I was trying to put together a big lgbtq term thing with like every term I could think of and let you guys give me some. BUT I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED A LOT OF IT. Then I realized I accidentally pasted it in the title earlier. But it made it all one long sentence. So if your wondering why there may be a random double space its cause that. I also tried to make it alphabetical but when I remembered more I gave up so its sorta alphabetical.
I hope you enjoy and PLEASE tell me to add certain things I’ve missed/ if I’ve given wrong info.

Someone who is asexual is not attracted to others s*xually. This doesn’t mean they can’t date. An abbreviation for this is “ace.”

A person who has two genders could use the term bigender. They may experience 2 genders at the same or different times. These genders can be binary or nonbinary.

Bigender, except if the person had 3 genders. Again, they may experience 3 genders at the same or different times and the genders can be binary or nonbinary.

Gender-fluid
Someone who feels that their gender identity changes over a period of time. Not everyone who feels this way identifies as genderfluid.
Heterosexual
This also can be known as straight- where you like the opposite gender. (This is a term but straight itself isn’t really under the LGBTQ+ umbrella.)
