Here's a good link of terms related to sexuality and gender. Eye opening and educational.
Here's a sample:
Ally: Someone who advocates for and supports members of a community other than their own. Reaching across differences to achieve mutual goals.
Androgynous: Someone who reflects an appearance that is both masculine and feminine, or who appears to be neither or both a boy and a girl.
Asexual: Having no evident sex or sex organs. In usage, may refer to a person who is not sexually active, or not sexually attracted to other people.
Bias: Prejudice; an inclination or preference, especially one that interferes with impartial judgment.
Bigendered: Refers to those who feel they have both a male and a female side to their personalities. Some “bigendered” people crossdress, others may eventually have a sex-change operation, others may do neither.
Biphobia: The irrational fear and intolerance of people who are bisexual.
Birth Sex/Sex: The sex one is assigned at birth due to the presence of whatever external sex organs. Once this determination is made, it becomes a label used for raising the child in either one gender image or other (either as male or female).
Bisexual: Also bi. A person who is attracted to two sexes or two genders, but not necessarily simultaneously or equally. [This used to be defined as a person who is attracted to both genders or both sexes, but since there are not only two sexes (see intersex and transsexual) and there are not only two genders (see transgender), this definition is inaccurate.]
