Female: Of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) that can be fertilized by male gametes.

Bigender: Bigender generally means you identify as two genders. You could identify as both at the same time. You can go back and forth between two genders.
Androgyne: Androgyny is the combination of masculine and feminine characteristics. Sexual ambiguity may be found in fashion, gender identity, sexual identity, or sexual lifestyle.
Agender: Someone who identifies as genderless, neither male nor female. They may be celibate or sexual of any orientation.
Intergender: A gender identity between, among, or in the midst of the binary genders of male/masculine and female/feminine.
Demiboy: Can be used to describe someone assigned male at birth who feels but the barest association with that identification, though not a significant enough dissociation to create real physical discomfort or dysphoria, or someone assigned female at birth who is trans masculine but not wholly binary-identified, so that they feel more strongly associated with “male” than “female,” socially or physically, but not strongly enough to justify an absolute self-identification as “man".
Demigirl: Someone who's gender identity varies, but ranges from girl to neither girl nor boy.
Third Gender: If someone is of the third gender, they are considered neither male nor female, whether by their will or by social consensus. Not to be mistaken for third sex. Sex and gender are not synonymous. Sex refers to whether they are biologically male or female. Gender is a state of mind. One can be born female, but live as a male. This has no influence on sexual orientation, nor vice versa. Typically, those of the third gender prefer to be referred to using gender-neutral pronouns, such as one, ze, sie, hir, or ey.
Genderqueer: Most commonly used to describe a person who feels that his/her gender identity does not fit into the socially constructed "norms" associated with his/her biological sex.
Genderqueer is an identity that falls anywhere between man/boy/male and woman/girl/female on the spectrum of gender identities.
Pangender: A person who does not conform to binary gender standards. Someone who identifies as neither male or female, but instead a third gender.
Genderfluid: A gender identity best described as a dynamic mix of boy and girl. A person who is Gender Fluid may always feel like a mix of the two traditional genders, but may feel more boy some days, and more girl other days.
Being Gender Fluid has nothing to do with which set of genitalia one has, nor their sexual orientation.
Transgender: A term referring to when one's gender and sex are not always or ever equivalent. Often used as a referrant to the person themself.
