I won't try to reiterate any of these websites definitions. I will insert the most commonly used ones on my website so that you understand what I may reference, but I urge you to explore the links as well. (Disclaimer: sexualities/ identifications listed below are in no way favorited or more important than others. They are simply the ones I mention the most or at all within my website.)

Cisgender 

"A term used to describe a person whose gender identity aligns with those typically associated with the sex assigned to them at birth." example: if you were born a "girl/female" you live your life continuing to identify and act as one.

Gay 

"A person who is emotionally, romantically, or sexually attracted to members of the same gender."

Transgender

"An umbrella terms for people whose gender identity and/or expression is different from cultural expectations based on the sex they were assigned at birth. being transgender does not imply any specific sexual orientation. Therefore, transgender people may identify as straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, etc."
