Notes about this Masterlist

1. English is spelled using the Oxford Style, the international standard for spelling English.
2. There may be some overlap between information provided in resources.
3. Due to some people being uncomfortable with the term queer (Highlight to view) and how a lot of intersex people do not consider themselves to be part of the LGBT+ community, the abbreviation LGBT+ is used. No alterations are made in the resource names if they use abbreviations containing these words, however.
4. The term "Bi+" is used for anybody who identifies with any non-monosexual/romantic label (e.g. bi, pan, omni, etc.)
