likely to experience sexual urges, become more
sensitive to sexual stimuli, and feel sexual
arousal.

Psychological
Gender Identity Sexual Orientation
Gender Identity
Gender identity is each person's internal and
individual experience of gender. It is a person's
sense of being a woman, a man, both, neither,
or anywhere along the gender spectrum.
A person's gender identity may be the same
as or different from their birth-assigned sex.
Gender
Orientation
Is how a person outwardly shows their gender
identity? It includes physical expressions such
as person’s clothing, hairstyle, makeup, and
social expressions such as name and pronoun
choice.
Some examples of gender expression are
masculine, feminine, and androgynous.
Sexual Orientation
Describes to whom a person is sexually
attracted.
A guy who is attracted to girls is considered
heterosexual
while someone who is attracted to the
same sex is called a homosexual
BIOLOGICAL SEX - is one’s assignment upon
birth and is dependent on physical features.
On the other hand, GENDER is an identity that is
learned and embraced by the individual.
One’s sex (e.g. male, female, intersex, etc.) is
usually assigned at birth based on one’s physical
biology. One’s gender (e.g. male, female, gender
queer, etc.) is one’s internal sense of self and
identity. One’s gender expression (e.g.
masculine, feminine, androgynous, etc.) is how
one embodies gender attributes, presentations,
roles, and more.

GENDER AS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT
As a social construct, gender comprises the
socially created ROLES, PERSONALITY TRAITS,
ATTITUDES, BEHAVIORS and VALUES
attributed to men and women.
It also includes the relative power and influence
of each, indicating that GENDER IS
RELATIONAL and refers not simply to men or
women but to the relationship between them.
Thus, gender is anchored on societal beliefs and
GENDER ROLES
Refer to societal expectations of how men
and women should act.
Traditional View on Gender Roles of Men
and Women
MEN are assumed to be strong and
dominant
WOMEN are perceived to be submissive
Aside from the problems with these
assumptions, gender and biological sex are
not always the same. A person may have been
born a man but assumes womanly traits while
woman may behave like a man.
BOYS – strong expression of sexuality with
minimal involvement with partner
GIRLS – to be good but potentially sexy,
waiting for the right man to come along to
unleash that potential
A guy who is attracted to girls is considered
heterosexual while someone who is attracted
to the same sex is called a homosexual
