It is important to note that sexual and romantic/emotional attraction can be from a variety of factors including but not limited to gender identity, gender expression/presentation, and sex assigned at birth.Įmotionally Attracted To: Romantic/emotional orientation. Physically Attracted To: Sexual orientation. Chromosomes do not always determine genitalia, sex, or gender. Chromosomes are frequently used to determine sex from prenatal karyotyping (although not as often as genitalia). It is important we don’t simply use “sex” because of the vagueness of the definition of sex and its place in transphobia. Sex Assigned at Birth: The assignment and classification of people as male, female, intersex, or another sex based on a combination of anatomy, hormones, chromosomes. Many transgender people seek to make their gender expression (how they look) match their gender identity (who they are), rather than their sex assigned at birth. Gender Expression/Presentation: The physical manifestation of one’s gender identity through clothing, hairstyle, voice, body shape, etc. Female, woman, and girl and male, man, and boy are also not necessarily linked to each other but are just six common gender identities. For transgender people, their sex assigned at birth and their own internal sense of gender identity are not the same. Everyone has a gender identity, including you. Gender Identity: One’s internal sense of being male, female, neither of these, both, or another gender(s).
