Gender Identity - Gender identity isn’t about who you’re attracted to,
but about who you ARE — male, female, genderqueer, etc.
GENDER SYMBOLS
Transgender - is a general term that describes people whose gender
identity, or their internal sense of being male, female, or something else,
does not match the sex they were assigned at birth. By contrast, the
term cisgender describes people whose gender identity aligns with the sex
they were assigned at birth.
Queer - is a word that describes sexual and gender identities other than
straight and cisgender. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people
may all identify with the word queer. Queer is sometimes used to express
that sexuality and gender can be complicated, change over time, and might
not fit neatly into either/or identities, like male or female, gay or straight.
