Leads to invisibility and stigmatizing of other sexualities. a person whose gender identity and biological sex assigned at birth align (e.g., man and assigned male at birth). a person with no connection to the traditional system of gender, no personal alignment with the concepts of either man or woman, and/or someone who sees themselves as existing without gender. a person who fluctuates between traditionally “woman” and “man” gender-based behavior and identities, identifying with both genders (and sometimes a third gender). is an umbrella term traditionally used by Native American people to recognize individuals who possess qualities or fulfill roles of both genders. An umbrella term used to refer to the queer community as a whole, or as an individual identity label for anyone who does not identify as heterosexual. the assumption, in individuals or in institutions, that everyone is cisgender, and that cisgender identities are superior to trans* identities or people. Leads to invisibility of non-cisgender identities. the external display of one’s gender, through a combination of dress, demeanor, social behavior, and other factors, generally made sense of on scales of masculinity and femininity. a gender expression that has elements of both masculinity and femininity. a person who identifies psychologically as a gender/sex other than the one to which they were assigned at birth. Transsexuals often wish to transform their bodies hormonally and surgically to match their inner sense of gender/sex. the fear of, discrimination against, or hatred of trans* people, the trans* community, or gender ambiguity. an individual who or time when someone is unsure about or exploring their own sexual orientation or gender identity.
