5. DIVERSITY OF HUMAN SEXUALITY Rigid beliefs on sex and gender put people in boxes (or closets), but these beliefs do not reflect realities on human sexuality, especially how gender roles and expressions, sexual attraction, and sexual behavior influence how a person views or lives his or her own sexuality. These notions favor male-female distinctions and are biased against those who do not fit existing stereotypes of sex and gender.

6. SEX Categories (male, female) to which people are typically assigned at birth based on physical characteristics (e.g. genitals). Some people may be assigned intersex when their reproductive, sexual, or genetic biology doesn't fit the traditional definitions of male or female.

7. Sexual Orientation: A person’s emotional and sexual attraction to others. It can change and may or may not be the same as a person’s sexual behavior.

8. Gender/Gender Identity: A person's internal sense of identity as female, male, both or neither, regardless of their sex.

9. Gender Expression: How a person expresses their gender. This can include how they look, the name they choose, the pronoun they use (e.g., he, she) and their social behavior.

29. Getting to Know your Sexual Identity Everybody has a sense of their sexuality: this is called your Gender identity. Your Gender identity is about how you see this part of yourself and how you express it to others. Gender identity is different from sexual orientation. Sexual orientation is about your sexual preferences and who you are attracted to.

Working out sexual orientation may be an ongoing process throughout a person’s life. For instance, a young person might identify one way at one time then differently in a few years’ time.
