Sexual orientation and #GenderIdentity (I hate the term are two distinct aspects of an individual, though they are often mistakenly intertwined. #SexualOrientation refers to whom an individual feels attracted to, either emotionally, romantically, or sexually. This encompasses orientations such as #heterosexual, #homosexual, #bisexual, #asexual, #pansexual, and more. I personally am a bisexual #woman.
#Gender, on the other hand, relates to one's internal understanding of being #male, #female, both, neither, or somewhere along the #GenderSpectrum. It's crucial to understand that this internal sense of gender isn't necessarily tied to one's #physical or #biological#characteristics. This is why someone might be assigned #male at birth but live as #female or #nonbinary.
