sexuality and gender

Sexuality refers to a person’s emotional, romantic, or sexual attractions to others, which can include a range of experiences and identities. Gender, on the other hand, relates to societal and personal perceptions of identity, roles, and expressions traditionally associated with being male, female, or other gender identities. While sex is often assigned at birth based on physical characteristics, gender is more about how individuals feel inside and choose to express themselves. Both are aspects of human diversity; they can align or differ independently, reflecting the complex, individual nature of identity.
