Genderbread Person

The Genderbread Person is a visual tool used to illustrate the complexities of gender identity, gender expression, biological sex, and sexual attraction. It shows that gender is not binary (just male or female) but exists on a spectrum. Biological sex refers to physical attributes, while gender identity is how individuals perceive themselves, and gender expression is how they communicate their gender. Sexual attraction indicates to whom a person is attracted emotionally and physically. This model helps promote understanding and acceptance of diverse gender identities and orientations, emphasizing that everyone’s experience of gender is unique.
