What is the difference between gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, and sex assigned at birth?
A lot of people find these terms confusing. The Genderbread Person is a tool that helps us explain the different terms.
Gender expression-is the way people present their gender through actions, clothing, and demeanor. You can’t always tell what someone’s gender is, so when you introduce yourself say your pronoun. For example, my name is Jill and I go by she/her. There are many types of pronouns people can use:
- She/her
- He/him
- They/them
- Ze/Hir
