All of us here I presume are cishet men, so it may be easy for us to hide behind our male privilege but the truth is gender spectrum is a real thing and affects many peoples lives. We should be considerate and have an open mind.
cishet = cis (gender assigned at birth) + heterosexual. Therefore we are all cishet men, and go by he/him pronouns.
Inb4 "muh fag" ,cope it should be well known that most western women are liberal, support gay marriage, and participate in hookup culture. There is nothing gay about this thread, it should be law to state pronouns so you are not misgendered.
Bigender indicates the number of gender identities someone has.
It doesn’t indicate which genders someone identifies with or the level of identification they have with a particular gender (such as 50 percent male, 50 percent demigirl).

It refers to a specific type of gender dysphoria that manifests as distress or discomfort with aspects of the body.
This may include anatomy, shape, size, chromosomes, secondary sex characteristics, or internal reproductive structures.

It’s important to only use this term if someone wants to be referred to this way, as some trans men and transmasculine people use terms that don’t include or indicate the sex they were assigned at birth.
Some gender apathetic people also use terms that indicate their relationship with the sex or gender assigned to them at birth — such as cis apathetic or trans apathetic — while others don’t.
Generally, people who are gender apathetic display an attitude of flexibility, openness, and “not caring” about how gender identity or presentation is perceived and labeled by others.
The medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria refers to a conflict between someone’s assigned sex (as male, female, or intersex) and their gender identity.
When used informally, gender dysphoria describes interactions, assumptions, physical traits, or body parts that don’t feel affirming or inclusive of someone’s expressed or experienced gender.
This could include trans people, nonbinary people, people who are gender noncomforming, and more.
It’s often but not always described using terms such as masculine, feminine, neutral, androgynous, conforming, or nonconforming.
The words used to describe someone’s gender expression are dependent upon social or cultural norms and stereotypes and may change over time.
Gender identity can’t be assumed based on appearance, anatomy, social norms, or stereotypes.
Gender identity isn’t determined by assigned gender or sex, and often develops or changes over time.

It doesn’t convey any information about the way someone experiences gender internally.
More accurately, gender nonconforming is a term used to describe physical traits in relation to socially and culturally defined gender categories.
People of any gender — cis, trans, or nonbinary — can be gender nonconforming.

It involves the experience of moving between genders or having a gender that changes over a particular period of time. For example, from moment to moment, day to day, month to month, year to year, or decade to decade.

Other gender labels that fall under the multi-gender umbrella can include:
Neutrois can be a broader term encompassing other gender identities, such as nonbinary, agender, genderfluid, or genderless.
Individuals who are nonbinary can experience gender a variety of ways, including a combination of man and woman, neither man nor woman, or something else altogether.
Some nonbinary individuals are trans, while many others don’t.
Whether a nonbinary person is also trans typically depends on the extent to which that person identifies, even partially, with the sex and gender assigned to them at birth.
This term indicates the number of gender identities someone experiences but doesn’t necessarily indicate which genders are included in the given person’s polygender identity.
This system is based on chromosomes, hormones, internal and external reproductive organs, and secondary sex characteristics.
This is often done by medical professionals during pregnancy or immediately after childbirth.
The sex a person is assigned at birth doesn’t determine or indicate anything about their authentic gender experience or identity.
Transsexual is often (though not always) used to communicate that one’s experience of gender involves a medical diagnosis or medical changes — such as hormones or surgery — that help alter anatomy and appearance to feel more congruent with gender identity.
Due to a fraught history, the word transsexual can be contentious and shouldn’t be used unless someone specifically asks to be referred to this way.
This term indicates the number of gender identities someone experiences but doesn’t necessarily indicate which genders are included in a given person’s trigender identity.
Each First Nation tribe has its own understanding and meaning of what it means to be two-spirit, so this term can have many definitions.
Two-spirit generally refers to a gender role believed to be a common, acknowledged, accepted, and praised gender classification among most First Nation communities, dating back centuries.
If you have made it this far, well done! You now will not misgender anyone again, it only took me a couple days to memorise about 40 of these terms.
