• NON-BINARY: In really simple terms, a non-binary person is someone who does not identify as exclusively a man or a woman. Someone who is non-binary might feel like a mix of genders, or like they have no gender at all.Personally, I (Arlo) identify outside of the gender binary entirely. I am not a boy or girl at all. Some other non-binary people might identify partially with one or more of the binary genders – for example, a gender-fluid person (someone whose gender changes over time) who identifies as girl sometimes and genderless other times. There are so many different ways to be non-binary, and we're all still valid and real! — Arlo from Minus18. 2025.

• PANSEXUAL -Pansexuality is defined as an attraction to people of any gender or to people regardless of their gender, with the prefix “pan” coming from the Greek prefix for “all.” Pansexuality isn’t a more evolved or “politically correct” form of bisexuality; it isn’t more or less trans/nonbinary inclusive; it’s just a word to describe one kind of sexual orientation. — The Trevor News. 2023.

• ASEXUAL - It’s important to remember that asexuality is an umbrella term, and exists on a spectrum. Asexual people — also known as “Ace” or “Aces” — may experience little or no sexual attraction and/or experience sexual attraction in a non-normative way. Ace people may want to and can form many types of intimate relationships, whether those relationships are romantic, platonic, or other forms of attraction and connection. Within the ace community, there are many ways for people to identify. — The Trevor Project. 2021.
