Lennie, Lennie… we need to dig into this complex subject. To make it easier for both i will copy/paste the answer
Genitalia does not equal gender. “The sex characteristics a person is born with do not signify a person’s gender identity. When people have ‘gender reveal parties,’ it really should be called a ‘genital reveal party,’” she offers. The concept of gender is a social construct
- Forget about the two-gender binary. “Gender is a term that relates to how we feel about ourselves, the way we choose to express our gender through makeup, dresses, high heels, athletic shorts, sneakers, and more,” she explains. Our society has convinced us that there are just two options for gender identity, “male” and “female,” based on biological sex. But in reality, there’s more fluidity.
- Gender identity is on a continuum. It’s not just the male/female gender binary—there’s a spectrum of gender identity. “[Most people] lie in between [the binary], with personality traits that relate to gender identity, expression, and biological sex. Gender identity can change over time, and it is not fixed,”.
Just because you identify one way at one point in time, does not mean you will always choose that identity, or that your identity won’t shift and evolve.
Sexuality and gender identity are not the same thing. “Gender identity is how you feel about yourself and the ways you express your gender and biological sex,” . Meanwhile, sexuality refers to who you are emotionally, physically, romantically, or sexually attracted to. In summary, “gender is how you feel about yourself, while sexuality is how you feel about others,”
Hope that this will give you many answers
