Gender identity,
gender expression and sexual orientation doesn't have to be black and
white as the society imposes. Labels don't wowk for everybody.
Gender is treated as
something binary when in reality is a social construct, his or her
biology does not always match her or his gender. The spectrum goes to
100% male to 100% female and there are many options in between:
transman, transwoman, afeminate man, masculine woman, gender neutral
people, gender fluid people, etc.
Therefore in sexual
orientation happens something simital to what happens in gender
identity. Sexual orentietion is fluid and is defined by who you are
attracted to, romantically or sexually (sometimes they match, and
sometimes they don't). There are many options like: lesbian, gay,
bisexual, asexual, demisexual, pansexual, polysexual, etc.
In
conclusion: gender
identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation are independent
of one another. People’s
sexual orientation doesn’t determine their gender. And their gender
expression doesn't
determine
their gender identity either.
