Content: nonbinary gender identities. There are people who don't, consistently or ever, identify with just male or female. Examples include people who are agender (genderless), genderfluid (shifting genders), or pangender (all genders at once). This also relates to sexual orientation because there are far more than three. Pansexuality is being attached to all genders including nonbinary ones, while a nonbinary person might also be androsexual (attracted to men) or gynosexual (attracted to women), because "hetero" and "homo" don't make sense with all genders. Another thing is asexuality, which means someone is not sexually attracted to anyone, although some asexuals still experience romantic attraction. This is often overlooked and considered to not actually exist, but it is more prevalent than people think and deserves recognition. For a more complete understanding of gender and sexuality, it's best to consult people of the LGBTQA community, either directly or through resources like AVEN, the Asexuality Visibility and Education Network. AVEN is great because it has information about all gender identities, sexual orientations, and romantic orientations, including those I haven't been able to include here. Once again, good article, but it's important to be comprehensive in discussing these concepts in order to promote wider acceptance of the LGBTQA community, including the lesser known minorities.
