This '''glossary of English gender and sex terminology''' shows actual language use. Unless a word is marked with a specific country, assume all these words may be used internationally, in any country where English is spoken. | This '''glossary of English gender and sex terminology''' shows actual language use.

This glossary's selection of words has a focus on [[nonbinary]] identities, and closely related subjects of gender non-conformity. This glossary also collects words about gender and sexuality, especially words used by or in reference to LGBT+ identities as well as [[intersex]] conditions, as these provide essential context, and often have an overlap with the main subject. The glossary includes psychiatric terminology as well as subcultural slang, and obsolete historical terms as well as very new words (neologisms). The words cover identity labels, gender-neutral pronouns, diagnoses, and political issues. | |||
If you put more words into this glossary, try to only put in words that you wouldn't find in the average pocket dictionary. Give sources to show that the word is really used in the way you say, or, if the wiki has an entry about that word, link to it. Keep glossary entries short, about three lines long at most. If they get too long, make a new wiki article for them. | If you put more words into this glossary, try to only put in words that you wouldn't find in the average pocket dictionary.
