Graysexual: Graysexuality is on the asexual spectrum. People who identify as graysexual experience very little sexual attraction or desire. Three major groups of gray-ace people are those who are sex-repulsed (those disgusted by the idea of sex), sex-neutral (those who do not actively seek out sex), or sex-positive (those who do not feel sexual attraction but still engage in sex for pleasure).
Omnisexual: Omnisexuality is close to pansexuality, but those who are omnisexual do not limit their sexuality to a certain gender, sex, or sexual orientation. They are attracted to all gender identities and seuxal orientations.
Bigender: A bigender person identifies with two distinct genders. For example, female and demiboy or agender and male. This term does not encompass the level of identification a bigender individual has with their genders -- they may feel 50% female and 50% demiboy, 25% female and 75% demiboy, or some other variation entirely. It depends on the person.
Female-to-male (FTM) and male-to-female (MTF): Terms/acronyms used by transgender people to identify what sex they are assigned at birth. FTM refers to trans males and MTF refers to trans females. It is important to note that not all transgender individuals use these terms as some prefer not to indicate their assigned sex.
Pangender: A gender identity falling on the non-binary spectrum. Pangender people experience many, if not all, gender identities on the spectrum at the same time or over time. They may even identify with all genders at once.
