Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gender identity refers to one's personal sense of their gender (in this case, Tracy identifies as female/feminine), while sexual orientation refers to the gender(s) an individual is attracted to (in this case, Tracy is attracted to other women). A is incorrect because gender and gender role are interchangeable, and Tracy's fitness routine does not necessarily relate to her gender. C is incorrect because sex refers to biological differences (e.g., male vs. female anatomy), which is not relevant in this scenario. D is incorrect because the order of terms is reversed (gender identity typically precedes sexual orientation when discussing LGBTQ+ identity).
