What is Gender?
•- 'Gender' refers to your sense of who you are as a guy,

girl or something else, as opposed to what your physical

characteristics, genes and hormones indicate. Identifying

your gender can be more diverse than simply seeing

yourself as ‘male’ or ‘female’, and people express their

gender in different ways.


Intersex
A person born with reproductive organs, hormone levels

and/or sex chromosomes that aren’t exclusively male or

female. There are many different states of being intersex,

and they’re not always obvious on the outside or even

diagnosed.
There are many other words and terms used to describe

sex and gender diversity (too many to go into here). You

can find out more about the diversity of sex and gender

by visiting some of the LGBTQI support services and

groups.
