Have you wondered what a term means? PFLAG National has a whole glossary of LGBTQ+ and related terms. It’s a great start from a trusted resource.
Know that people will have their own definitions. The resource is meant to be used to understand some foundational concepts and terms, though intersectionality will influence someone’s personal definition. You could ask someone, “What does [term/identity] mean to you?” if you’d like their own answer. However, remember that they have the right to say no to your question.
