Gioia

-Fluid

PUBLISHED JUNE 15, 2017 - UPDATED SEPTEMBER 21, 2020.
Fluid as a suffix for gender identities and sexualities expresses that the identity or sexuality is not fixed but can change. Examples are genderfluid for a person whose gender identity changes, or acefluid for a person who sometimes identifies as a_sexual, but sometimes as something else.

-Flexible

PUBLISHED JUNE 15, 2017 - UPDATED SEPTEMBER 21, 2020.
Flexible as a suffix for gender identities and sexualities means that a person feels that he or she belongs primarily to one identity or sexuality, but feels that it is stretchable or knows exceptions to it. Thus, a heteroflexible person is one who identifies primarily as heterosexual, but not exclusively.

Nonbinary Also: nonbinary, non-binary

PUBLISHED JUNE 8, 2017 - UPDATED APRIL 23, 2023
Nonbinary is a gender.
People who are not (or not 100%) male or female can describe themselves as nonbinary. Instead, their gender is, for example, both at the same time, between male and female, or neither male nor female.
Both dyadic and inter people can be nonbinary.

Transgender

PUBLISHED JUNE 8, 2017 - UPDATED MARCH 5, 2023.
People who do not identify with the gender they were assigned at birth may describe themselves as transgender. However, not all people to whom this applies refer to themselves this way: for example, many use the term trans instead.
Transgender people may identify as male or female, but also outside the binary gender system, e.g., nonbinary, agender, or genderfluid.

Bi+sexuality

PUBLISHED JUNE 15, 2017 - UPDATED SEPTEMBER 21, 2020.
Bi+sexuality is used in activist and academic contexts as an umbrella term for all sexual orientations in which a person may find people of two, more, or all genders sexually attractive. Bi+sexuality thus includes bisexuality, pansexuality, omnisexuality, multisexuality, and polysexuality.

flinta* Also: FINTA, FLINT.

PUBLISHED MAY 30, 2020 - UPDATED MARCH 10, 2023
FLINTA* is an acronym meant to express who is welcome in certain spaces or to certain events. It stands for women, lesbians, inter people, non-binary people, trans people, and agender people. These abbreviations are problematic when they are used synonymously with 'women' or 'all people I perceive as women', thus excluding many people who would be included.

Faggot also: fag

PUBLISHED 15 JUNE 2017 - UPDATED 10 MARCH 2023
Faggot (English, translates roughly as 'faggot'), is originally a swear word for gay men.
However, the term is now often used as a positive self-designation.
