Gender Definitions
Gender identity is understood to refer to each person's deeply felt internal and individual experience of gender, which may or may not correspond with the sex assigned at birth, including the personal sense of the body (which may involve, if freely chosen, modification of bodily appearance or function by medical, surgical or other means) and other expressions of gender, including dress, speech and mannerisms.
Abrosexual
Describes someone whose sexuality is fluid or changeable. For example one day they may identify as asexual, the next as lesbian, and the next as pansexual. Abrosexual people can fluctuate between all sexualities, or just a few. The timing between fluctuations can also vary.
Aromantic /Asexual
A person who lacks romantic attraction or interest in romantic expression. An aromantic person’s sexual and romantic orientations may differ and they may have romantic and/or sexual partners.
Androphilic / Androsexual
These terms are particularly useful for people who identify outside of the gender binary as unlike terms like gay or lesbian, they refer only to the presentation of the person someone is attracted to and not the person themselves.
Aroflux
An aroflux person is someone whose romantic orientation fluctuates but generally stays on the aromantic spectrum. They may feel strongly aromantic one day, and less so on another day.
Agender
Someone who doesn’t identify with the idea or experience of having a gender.
AFAB meaning Assigned female at birth.
