It is very important to respect people’s desired self-identifications. I hope you find this collection helpful, that it inspires you to continue learning about gender, sexuality and what it is to be human. There is a big difference between putting a label on yourself and being labelled by someone else, this collection is intended to be a guide to terminology, a starting point on the long and twisty roads that encompass human sexuality, gender and culture. Although every effort has been made to make this as inclusive as possible there may still be mistakes and not everyone uses these definitions. This is by no means a definitive collection. ![]() Explaining your identity can be exhausting, another reason I started this project. If you are curious about what words may mean to someone please ask respectfully and privately and accept that they may not want to get into it right now. As is the beauty of language and human beings these words will mean different things to different people. I have put a great amount of care and thought into the words included in this project, reworking definitions to make them as accessible as possible while remaining true to their origins. This project is a product of procrastination and a desire to educate both myself and others. Welcome to Alphabet Soup, a comprehensive collection of terms used by and about the LGBTQIA+ community. ![]()
