I got no clue on any of these variations on a theme beyond women lookin' to be men, and men lookin' to be women.
If you really want to, it's easy to start by understanding the first two, the ones you mentioned:

"women lookin' to be men" are Trans MEN
"men lookin' to be women" are Trans WOMEN

Next, "non-Binary" = doesn't identify as a man OR a woman.

That's, like, three. That's the three main ones.

AFAB = "assigned female at birth"
AMAB = "assigned male at birth" --these two mean what's "in your pants" more or less

Queer means, "something" unconventional. non-specific

Cis means nothing unconventional-- you look like a man, have a penis, and call yourself a man. Or vice versa

So that's, like, seven new words.
