    You forgot demigender, but I'm not sure if that counts as nonbinary or not, and demisexual, which is on the ace scale. Also gynesexual and androsexual, attraction to females and males respectively. What is exosexual, though? I've never heard of it.

    Exosexual is where you're sexually attracted to someone from the same planet from you, but not the same species. It comes from Doctor Who [P. Newman and V. Lambert et al.] where homosapian Jenny is attracted to homoreptilia Vastra.

    Now, I know people say this is 'unethical' but unethical or not, it's still someone's biological sexual attraction. Also, Jenny and Vastra breaks this 'unethical' barrier as they both knowingly consented to the relationship.

    In terms of Doctor Who omnisexuality is where you're attracted to people from different planet from you. This would be Doctor Who, River Song and Captin Jack. Although the Earth meaning of omnisexual is different.

    I didnt know about androsexual / gynsexual but it makes so much sense!! I wish those were the most used terms instead of hetero/homosexual, which unless you are cis can be very confusing

    That's what I put for 'ace' [I got lazy and didn't want to put 'sexual' after every single one, and some people say 'ace' for 'asexual' when shortened].

    They are infinite, and can not be contained within this paltry language.

    No, nor will you ever. That's the beauty of it ;-)

    Gender:
    neutrois
    two-spirit
    pangender
    genderfuck (?)

    sexuality/romantic

    aromantic
    graysexual/-romantic
    polysexual/-romantic

    Also, I want to point out this thing that I heard about, but only in German: guydykes and girlfags (it's not supposed to be offensive, people call themselves that!) It's when you're a woman, for example, but feel gay attraction to men.

    I'll put a note at the beggining ''Whilst some of these words in the booklet might be considered offensive in our culture, other cultures use this as positive words for themselves so it is not offensive in this context''

    If you really want all gender and sexuality labels that people use, you'd have to include everything listed in this thread and then some.

    If you want a fairly standard list, I'd stick with these:
    Gender
    cis - male, female
    trans - male, female
    nonbinary - agender, bigender, genderfluid (possibly include androgyne and neutrois if wanted)
    *Intersex isn't a gender and really doesn't belong in this list. Note that nonbinary people are trans if they choose to use that word for themselves; not all nonbinary people identify as trans, but nonbinary identities do fall under the trans umbrella.

    Sexuality
    Gay/lesbian (homosexual)
    Straight (heterosexual)
    Bisexual (attraction to two or more genders)
    Pansexual (attraction to all genders)
    Asexual
    (could mention gynesexual and androsexual)
    *I would not mention exo- or objectsexual
    *I would also definitely not mention girlfags and guydykes; at least from the article linked, it sounds like uncomfortable objectification of gay sexuality, and also involves straight people using slurs they have no right to reclaim

    Agree, but what do you do when language is all you've got...
