 Gender Identities

Gender identity is a person's internal, deeply held sense of their own gender (or lack thereof). Unlike gender expression, gender identity is not visible to others. An individual's gender identity may or may not align with their birth assignment. Most people, whether cisgender or transgender, have a gender identity of male/man/boy or female/woman/girl. For others, their gender identity does not fit neatly into one of those binary terms, such as people who are non-binary or genderqueer.

 Sexual Orientations

Sexual orientation, also known as sexuality, refers to a person's sexual attractions (or lack thereof) toward others. It is not defined by sexual activity, which can be independent of a person's orientation. It also is not equivalent to a person's gender. While the most common terms are largely described using the gender binary of male or female, sexuality is more expansive than that.

 Romantic Orientations

Romantic orientation is related to a person's romantic attractions or desires, generally expressed in terms of which gender or genders a person is attracted to in relation to the person's own. It differs from one's sexual orientation, which is associated with sexual attractions, and a person's romantic and sexual orientation does not have to be the same. The Split Attraction Model is sometimes used to convey these differences.
