1. Agender
A person who identifies as agender might experience an “absence of any gender feelings or affiliation,” says Courtney D’Allaird, assistant director of Gender and Sexuality Resource Center at the University of Albany. (Remember that “a” as a prefix means “absence of something,” so agender = absence of gender.)

2. Gender nonconforming
Gender nonconforming is an umbrella term that includes “anyone or anything that challenges gender expectations,” says D’Allaird. In other words, gender nonconforming people “challenge and subvert gender stereotypes and expectations.” In some societies, there is a set of expectations that come with each gender—like women wear pink and men wear blue—but those who identify as gender nonconforming reject that way of thinking entirely.

3. Sex
As it relates to gender, sex often refers to what doctors (and society) assign a person at birth based on their genitals, whether male or female. Licensed psychologist and LTBTQ+ sex educator Liz Powell notes that defining sex versus gender is a complicated area, as many folks wonder how helpful it is to think about sex as a separate thing from gender.

“But in context, if we’re talking about someone’s sex, we’re talking about what they were assigned at birth, based on external genitalia,” they clarify. For the sake of most discussion, this is a helpful way to frame it.
4. Gender
While sex is based on biology, chromosomes, and what doctors assign at birth and write on the birth certificate, gender is a social construct, meaning something that was created by humanity, complete with its own set of “rules” and expectations.

As such, individuals may identify with a different gender than what they were assigned at birth. As Powell explains it: “Gender is someone’s own internal understanding about whether they are a man or a woman, something in between, or none of those things.”

5. Cisgender
Cis, which is short for “cisgender,” refers to people whose gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth. So if you were born with a 🤬 and you feel and consider yourself to be male, you’d be a cisgender male.

6. Cishet
Cishet is short for “cisgender heterosexual,” or someone who is both cis and straight. (Note: “Straight” is not a gender term—it’s a sexual orientation. However, it’s relevant to gender when combined with “cisgender.”)

7. Transgender
Trans is an abbreviation of “transgender” and refers to someone whose gender does not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. “Trans is not aligned with what was determined [at birth], where cis is aligned with what was determined,” says therapist Kelly Wise, PhD, who also identifies as trans.

A transgender man is someone who was assigned female at birth but has transitioned (or is transitioning) to expressing a male gender identity, and a transgender woman is someone who was assigned male at birth but has transitioned (or is transitioning) to expressing a female gender identity.
