Queer Queer is an umbrella term for sexual and
gender minorities that are not
heterosexual or cisgender. Queer was
originally used pejoratively against those
with same-sex desires but, beginning in
the late-1980s, queer scholars and
activists began to reclaim the word.
Questioning The questioning of one’s gender, sexual
identity, sexual orientation, or all three is
a process of exploration by people who
may be unsure, still exploring, and
concerned about applying a social label
to themselves for various reasons.
Intersex Intersex is a variation in sex

characteristics including chromosomes,
gonads, or genitals that do not allow an
individual to be distinctly identified as
male or female.
Word: Definition:
Asexual Asexuality (or nonsexuality) is the lack
of sexual attraction to anyone, or low or
absent interest in sexual activity. It may
be considered the lack of a sexual
orientation, or one of the variations
thereof, alongside heterosexuality,
homosexuality, and bisexuality.

themselves a friend to the LGBTQ+
community.
Pansexual Pansexuality, or omnisexuality, is sexual
attraction, romantic love, or emotional
attraction toward people of any sex or
gender identity. Pansexual people may
refer to themselves as gender-blind,
asserting that gender and sex are
insignificant or irrelevant in determining
whether they will be sexually attracted
to others.

genderfree, non-gendered, or ungendered

identities which do not conform to traditional
gender norms.

identities that are not exclusively masculine or
feminine—identities which are thus outside of
the gender binary and cisnormativity.

individuals express two distinct “female” and
“male” personas, feminine and masculine
respectively; others find that they identify as
two genders simultaneously.
Word: Definition:

nonconformity, is behaviour or gender
expression by an individual that does
not match masculine and feminine
gender norms. People who exhibit
gender variance may be called gender
variant, gender non-conforming, gender
diverse or gender atypical, and may be
transgender, or otherwise variant in their
gender expression. Some intersex
people may also exhibit gender variance.
Pangender Pangender people are those who feel
they identify as all genders. The term
has a great deal of overlap with gender
queer. Because of its all-encompassing
nature, presentation and pronoun usage
varies between different people who
identify as pangender.
