Gender Inclusive Campuses

Sex

 “Sex” refers to the physical differences

between people who are male, female,
or intersex. A person typically has their sex
assigned at birth based on physiological
characteristics, including their genitalia and
chromosome composition. This assigned sex
is called a person’s “natal sex.”
Gender
 Gender, on the other hand, involves how a person
identifies. Unlike natal sex, gender is not made up of
binary forms. Instead, gender is a broad spectrum. A
person may identify at any point within this spectrum
or outside of it entirely.

 People may identify with genders that are different

from their natal sex or with none at all. These identities
may include transgender, nonbinary, or gender-neutral.
There are many other ways in which a person may
define their own gender.
Sexuality

 Sexuality is about your sexual feelings,

thoughts, attractions and behaviours towards
other people. You can find other people
physically, sexually or emotionally attractive,
and all those things are a part of your
sexuality
