Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gender identity and sexual orientation are distinct aspects of a person's identity. Gender identity refers to one's internal sense of being male, female, or something else, while sexual orientation is about who one is attracted to. Therefore, knowing someone's sexual orientation does not provide information about their gender identity or confusion about it.
