TRANSGENDER
A constantly evolving term that loosely denotes individuals or behaviors that subvert, compliment, or question normative gender roles (the traditional male/female binary). In it’s earlier stages it served as a gender identity that followed a much stricter definition; one that is now more typically associated with transsexuality, which is the misalignment (mentally/spiritually/ physically/emotionally) between one’s natal genitalia (corresponding birth sex) with their “true” perceived and non-actualized self. Transgender is typically now used as an umbrella term to house variant gender expressions, including but not limited to: transsexual, genderqueer, cross-dressing, transvestite, and intersexed individuals.

POMOSEXUAL
An individual who shuns sexual orientation labels and chooses not to label oneself with a sexual orientation. Pomosexuality is “erotic reality beyond the boundaries of gender, separatism, and essentialist notions of sexual orientation.”
