LGBTQ Terms
*Everyone lies on a spectrum for each category:
- sex at birth
- sexual orientation
- gender identity
- gender expression
Example: Male at birth, Heterosexual orientation, Male gender identity, Feminine expression.
A male at birth can be feminine in identity or expression and be heterosexual. Having female friends, liking pink, looking feminine does not mean you need to identify as a woman. Nor does being a female “tomboy” with an attraction to women does not automatically make you bi or lesbian. Identity is fluid, subject to change.
No one deserves to be treated with disrespect regardless of beliefs and identity.
The following terms are used to better understand and respect others.
