INTRODUCTION
What does it mean to be male or female,
to be feminine or masculine, or to be
man or woman?

The human mind and body are so complex that we have to

trace our journey from the moment we were born, and go back
to the journey we humans have across the life span. We need
to understand and differentiate the concepts of sex, gender
and sexuality.
 SEXUALITY
the totality of our own experience of
our sex and gender

SEX
the biological aspect of sex; maleness
SEX
chromosomal markers that distinguish
females (xx) from male (xy) species

or femaleness
CHROMOSOMES
GENDER
the social interpretation of sex;
INTERSEX
individuals with composite genitals (possessing some
masculinity, femininity, etc
characteristics of both male and female gentitals
 Sex
“Sex” refers to the physical
differences between people
who are male, female, or
intersex. A person typically has
their sex assigned at birth
based on physiological
characteristics, including their
genitalia and chromosome
composition. This assigned sex
is called a person’s “natal sex.”
Gender
Gender, on the other hand,
involves how a person
identifies. Unlike natal sex,
gender is not made up of
binary forms. Instead, gender
is a broad spectrum. A person
may identify at any point
within this spectrum or
outside of it entirely.
Gender Identity
Gender identity is how you
feel inside and how you
show your gender through
clothing, behavior, and
personal appearance. It’s a
feeling that begins early in
life.
SEXUAL
ORIENTATION
Another aspect of our gender pertains to our emotional and
sexual attraction to a person. This aspect refers to our sexual
orientation. According to the Psychological Association of
the Philippines, typically at ages 6 or 8, we experience or
develop attraction to other people. By adolescemce, we
already know who we are attracted to and would experiment
through dating and relationships.
Heterosexuals or straight
People who are attrcted to the opposite sex

Homosexual, gay or lesbian

People who are attracted to people of the same sex

Bisexual
people who are attracted to both sexes

LGBT
refers t the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community
