The Genderbread Person

The Genderbread Person is a visual tool that helps explain the different aspects of gender identity, gender expression, biological sex, and sexual orientation. It shows that these elements are separate, recognizing that a person’s gender identity (who they are), how they express themselves (clothes, behavior), their biological sex (physical traits), and who they are attracted to are all different factors. This helps promote understanding and acceptance by illustrating that gender and sexuality are complex, fluid, and personal, rather than simply male or female.
