Lesbian:A lesbian is a female who is aesthetically, sexually, or romantically attracted to other femalesThe word lesbian is derived from Lesbos (Λέσβος), a Greek island located in the East Aegean Sea where the ancient Greek lyric poet Sappho lived and ran a school for girls[1] in the 6th century BC. Many of her poems are about her passion for her students, termed in antiquity gynerasty, the female counterpart to male pederasty. Sappho's literary association with love between females has led to the term lesbian
Gay:Gay is an adjective meaning "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy"; however in modern usage, gay is a word usually used, as either a noun or adjective, to refer to homosexuals; persons sexually oriented toward members of their own gender.

"Gay", when used as an adjective, sometimes describes traits associated with both homosexual men and women, their culture, or perceived lifestyle. The term lesbian, on the other hand, is used exclusively in a gender-specific way to describe homosexual women.The word started to acquire sexual connotations in the late 17th century, being used with meaning "addicted to pleasures and dissipations". This was by extension from the primary meaning of "carefree": implying "uninhibited by moral constraints". By the late nineteenth century the term "gay life" was a well-established euphemism for prostitution and other forms of extramarital sexual behaviour that were perceived as immoral.

Shemale:The term shemale refers to transwomen (male-to-female transgender or transsexual people) who have breasts typical of an adult female (through hormone replacement therapy and/or through breast augmentation), and who usually have other female secondary sex characteristics, but who have not undergone genital reassignment surgery.

However, other transwomen never undergo genital reassignment surgery even if they can afford it, or come to accept their genitalia, because they consider the surgery to be unnecessary for their individual gender transition. Some transwomen have said they prefer the genitalia with which they were born.

The term "shemale" (along with tranny and "chick with dick") is commonly, but not exclusively, used in pornography and the sex industry; videos and magazines involving such people are a common sub-genre of pornography. It is often seen by transsexual people as a powerful term of abuse.

A lesbian is a woman who loves other women. A gay person is a man who loves other men, though sometimes gay can refer to gay or lesbian. A "shemale" is a transgendered person who has switched sexes from female to male, though the term is a bit derogatory.

Many transwomen are offended by this term for one or more of the following reasons:

because of the association with the sex industry, like pornography, escorting, and sex party scenes,
because many transwomen who have not undergone genital reassignment surgery want it and/or
because their gender identity is female, not "male", nor do they feel they are only "half-female".
"Shemale" is also a term used in online computer games to refer to male players playing as female characters.
