may also use the term, particularly if they have a connection to womanhood and are mostly attracted to women.

“While that may have been the original definition… times have changed, and people understand that there are more than two genders,” Natalie Dahl, who, wrote for Teen Vogue. “Today, many people define bisexuality as being attracted to people of similar gender identities to theirs and gender identities that are different than theirs. There are many gender identities out there and a bi person can choose to date someone who identifies with any of them.
, genderfluid, as having multiple genders, or as having no gender at all. Again, the term doesn’t automatically imply a binary. And because gender is separate from sexual orientation, a transgender person can have any sexual orientation under the rainbow.The two-spirit identity is reserved for those who identify as Indigenous North American.
“Queer has been reclaimed by many in the community who wish to have a more fluid and open way to identify their sexual and gender orientations,” Werder. “‘Queer’ now serves as an umbrella term that not only includes those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, but also people who fall in between the binaries and beyond these labels.”
Because language is a highly personal thing, for some LGBTQIA+ folks, the word “queer” may not feel empowering, even in its current reclaimed form. That’s why, as with all words in this glossary, it’s crucial we let every individual self-identify using the terms they feel most comfortable with and best represented by, rather than assigning those labels ourselves.
