Sex
- Biological trait
- Determined mostly by sex chromosomes
(X/Y)
- Can be affected by hormones, gene expression,
anatomy
- Assigned at birth

Gender
- Socially, culturally, and personally defined
- How an individual sees themselves, how others
perceive them and expect them to behave, how
they interact with other people
- Learned throughout life
Male and female typically refer to sex
assigned at birth, while man and woman
refer to a person’s gender.
Gender Assignment
- Classification of an infant at birth as male, female or
intersex based on their genitalia. More commonly
(and correctly) known as sex assigned at birth.
Gender Role
- Refers to the expectations that go along with a
person’s gender. This is the socially constructed and
culturally specific collection of attitudes and
behaviors considered “normal and appropriate”
for people of a particular sex.
Gender Binary
- The pervasive social system that tells us there can only
be masculine cisgender men and feminine cisgender
women and there can be no alternatives in terms of
gender identity and expression.
Gender Transition
- The process by which some people strive to more
closely align their internal knowledge of gender
with its outward appearance. This includes social
transition, whereby they might begin dressing, using
names and pronouns and/or be socially recognized as
another gender and physical transitions in which they
modify their bodies through medical interventions.
Gender Dysphoria
- Also called Gender Identity Disorder, it is a clinically
significant distress caused when a person's assigned
birth gender is not the same as the one with which they
identify.
The distinction between sex and gender is key to
being able to examine gender and sexuality as
social variables rather than biological
variables.
Contrary to the common way of thinking about it,
gender is not determined by biology in any
simple way.
The experience of gender and sexuality is
far more complex than the black and
white view of the gender binary.
Sexual Orientation
Gender Identity
Gender Expression
An enduring emotional, romantic,
and/or sexual attraction to other people.

One's innermost concept of self as
male, female, a blend of both or neither –
how individuals perceive themselves and
what they call themselves. One's gender
identity can be the same or different
from their sex assigned at birth.

Cisgender
Refers to when your gender identity
matches your sex assigned at birth

Transgender
Refers to when your gender identity does
not match your sex assigned at birth

Cisgender Man Male Man

Cisgender Woman Female Woman

Transgender Man Female or Intersex and Man

Transgender Woman Male or Intersex and Woman

Non Binary Male, Female, or Neither;
Intersex Beyond the Binary
The term trans* refers to transgender
or gender non-conforming, and is an
umbrella term for people whose gender
identity or gender expression does
not conform to that typically associated
with the sex to which they were assigned
at birth.
External appearance of one's gender
identity, usually expressed through
behavior, clothing, haircut or voice, and
which may or may not conform to
socially defined behaviors and
characteristics typically associated with
being either masculine or feminine.

EVERY PERSON HAS A SOGIE
Gender identity, gender expression, biological sex, and sexual
orientation are independent of one another.
People’s sexual orientation doesn’t determine their gender
expression. And their gender expression isn’t determined by
their gender identity. And their gender identity isn’t
determined by their biological sex.
The idea that homosexuality is a mental disorder or
that the emergence of same-sex attraction and
orientation among some adolescents is in any way
abnormal or mentally unhealthy has no support
among any mainstream health and mental
health professional organization.
- American Psychological Association
Distinction, exclusion, restriction, or preference
