NPR’s Guide To Gender Identity Terms

If you’ve been hearing a term you’re not quite familiar with and haven’t wanted to ask now’s the time to educate yourself! Right now is always the best time to take another step toward respect. From NPR:

One thing to note: Language changes. Some of the terms now in common usage are different from those used in the past to describe similar ideas, identities and experiences. Some people may continue to use terms that are less commonly used now to describe themselves, and some people may use different terms entirely. What’s important is recognizing and respecting people as individuals.
