Renatus, you have sexual orientation mixed in with several gender-identity terms.
Homo/hetero/pan/bi is describing the people you are attracted to and how/why you are attracted to them, or not attracted to anyone at all (asexual).
Trans is more how you see yourself, who you think you were meant to be. In the case of intersex, there are several different "disorders" that are not simply XX/XY. Intersex is a general term for individuals who aren't exclusively male or female.
Bigender is having both a male presence and a female presence in the same body, hence the other terms "two soul" or "two spirit".

/lots of info crammed into a few sentences
