I see we're keeping the definitions that include gender stereotypes and things that are not gender. I am not comfortable with this. I had been meaning to modify the definitions, your comment was the kick up the butt I needed but I had to wait until I got to a PC in order to make the edits. Truthfully, I had been thinking it over the past week or so, trying to rack my brain as to how to fix this matter... I ended up re-reading this topic after your response and took into account to simply remove the gender role stuff and simplify the definitions so they aren't running the risk of alienating folks who view the definition differently.
The definitions for nearly all of them have been modified to be simple definitions and not succumbing to gender stereotypes or roles.
In the end, I just want to say... labels are just that - labels. The definitions can vary for each individual as we all have different perceptions and experiences. It will be hard to make everyone happy in regards to how labels are written but I feel what's important is how you define yourself... with or without the help of labels. If you identify as a (insert gender), it is yours to own. Your own power to wield. Online definitions that state differently or incorrectly, they won't invalidate your identity or cause you discomfort unless you allow them to. I hope I'm not being too harsh here.
I hope the edited definitions reflect the gender aspect more appropriately. I think I might have botched the Cross-dresser definition though.

I've heard the term personal gender used as a way of respecting the uniqueness of and individuals gender, without needing to force them into defining it under terms that they don't want to use.

I like this terminology a lot! It really helps find me a more proper label. I have always identified as a trans woman, but I think transfeminine is also okay. I honestly don't feel okay saying I am simply a woman. Because unfortunately I was not born with the right parts, so I don't feel I can say I am a woman and especially cause I have not started HRT.
In manneirisms and voice, I'm quite feminine, if I try to make a male voice, I sound funny, so i guess I have been living as femme boy and people always think I am gay, lol they are right about liking men but not about my gender. I have no sex drive and a youngish face. Peeps think I'm 15 when I'm 18. I am growing my hair out and maybe I'll be a classical "trap", god, I hate this term because it implies deception and don't identify with it at all. I want to live with a feminine body but I will always have doubts to whether I can apply "woman" to me.
I am always doubting myself, so there's that. I wonder if i found out I was intersex what i'd think. I don't think I am, I just probably have really low T, which doesn't bother me at all. I just want to start HRT and live my life and hopefully land some man and have his babies, lol jk if I could, I would be a mother. There's always adoption, who knows?

This is all a pretty normal series of thoughts considering where you are at, I wouldn't call it pre-transition either because obviously you are transitioning mentally and to some degree physically and it doesn't take HRT to do that. We've all been there honey so don't worry about gender labels, just be you and go with the flow and it will all happen in due time. Meanwhile being youthful appearing is such a blessing, we all age soon enough, so enjoy your youthful appearance while you still have it.

Intergender was coined by and exclusively FOR intersex folks. I identified as intergender first before I knew this, so I totally understand people missing that key part of the identity.

Genderfuck, like androgynous, refers to presentation rather than identity, so I don't think that one needs changing.

I see that genderfuck was removed, actually. In that case, androgynous should probably be nixed too, considering it is also not a nonbinary identity (but rather a non-normative form of presentation.)

I suppose of these terms I identify with Bigender And GuyDyke. Some of my lesbian friends playfully insist I'm a lesbian. It's not something I've called myself, but I don't protest if others do. I will certainly say I have gotten along with a number of lesbians very well, including my best friend. I have also found myself envious of the qualities of my friends lesbian relationships as well. There's just something about many of their relationships that I like. Guess I'm not completely sure what it is. Also many of my favorite singer-songwriters are lesbians.
As for bigender, there's deffinitely distinct masculine and feminine qualities I've identified in myself. I can't really picture myself without either gender's qualities, and I have driven myself crazy in the past trying to identify one way or the other.
I'm new to this online community and I have found these first few topics to be helpful to me. Sorry if I ramble.

Transition, if you not feel comfortable with your born gender, and wanted to become full part of the opposite gender.
Transforming, if you are happy with your born gender, but feels there's some missing of the opposite gender and you change this
