None of us are experts here, as far as I know, but I'd be happy to give any help or input into a list of labels, identities, and definitions that I might know.

Just fyi, it can be tricky knowing how to refer to the reproductive anatomy of a transgender person. For instance, a trans-man might have vagina but feel triggered by saying that he has female anatomy. He's male and it's his anatomy so, for him, that IS the anatomy of a man. Other people might not have an issue with the language or terms related to physical sex. It's generally better to say afab (assigned female at birth) or amab (assigned male at birth). A transgender man was afab while a transgender woman was amab.

Also, the currently accepted term is 'transgender' or 'trans' rather than 'transgendered'.

Maybe a second sticky with a list of terminology and definitions might be helpful?
