I'm not Charlotte, but I can help with the question a little bit. So the easiest answer is: there are infinite! But for starters, here's an incomplete list of terms you might come across:

Asexual: not experiencing sexual attraction

Agender: no gender

Abrosexual: sexualityfluid, changes time to time

Androsexual: attracted to the male gender or masculine traits

Bisexual: attracted to 2 or more genders

Bigender: 2 genders at once

Cisgender: gender matches sex assigned at birth (this is the gender "norm")

Demisexual: only attracted to someone once a strong connection is formed

Demigender (demigirl, demiboy, demi-othergender, etc): partially one gender, partially not

Gay/lesbian/homosexual: attracted to the same gender

Genderfluid: gender changes time to time, not fixed gender identity

Genderqueer: umbrella term for non-cis and non-binary genders

Gray-Asexual: only experiencing sexual attraction at certain times

Gynesexual: attracted to the female gender or to feminine traits

Heteroflexible: mainly attracted to opposite gender, sometimes attracted to other genders

Homoflexible: mainly attracted to same gender, sometimes attracted to other genders

Omnisexual: attracted to all genders

Nonbinary: neither male nor female, gender spectrum outside of male-female binary

Pansexual: attracted to all genders or attracted to multiple genders

Pangender: all genders at once

Polysexual: attracted to multiple genders

Polygender: multiple genders at once

Queer: umbrella term for all non-straight sexualities and non-cis genders (note: this originated as a slur but has since been reclaimed by most of the LGBTQ+ community. I don't find it offensive, but some LGBTQ+ people still do)

Straight/heterosexual: attracted to the opposite gender, the "norm"

Transgender: gender is opposite to sex assigned at birth (for instance, someone is a boy but born in a female body)

Trigender: 3 genders at once

Questioning: unsure about sexuality or gender identity

Note: all sexualities have a romantic counterpart
