[quote=Anonymous]So many other words were added these past few years regarding people who don't identify with their born gender and I think I'm confused now.  I realized that I might need some refresher because the topic came up when my DC asked about something related to it.  I tried google but it gives a very long narrative on what each word is.  I'm hoping that someone here can give a short description of each word below or add any other words that are not listed?  I'm not a troll, I just want to make sure I understand these words correctly.

This is the way I understand these terms:

L- Born woman but identifies as a man
G- A term that be used for both genders that identify as the other
B- A person who has no gender preference when it comes to relationship
T- Someone who identifies as the opposite gender and dresses as the other gender(question:  Does one count as Trans if they did not go through the operation yet?)
Q-I'm not quite sure what this is and how it's different from "Gay", I also thought this word could be derogatory?

Some other words that I heard of but I don't know the full meaning or how it's different from above- Cis, Pansexual, Gender fluid.

I'm not a troll, I'm sure I'm not the only one who is confused by these terms, but no one wants to ask in case someone gets offended.  Thanks in advance.[/quote]
