The Gingerbread Person
SOGIESC stands for S*xual Orientation, Gender Identity, Gender Expression, and S*xual Characteristics. It is a way that all of us can understand ourselves, but it can still be confusing to understand for some. This pride month, we’re borrowing Sam Killerman’s Genderbread Person to better understand how we experience our own gender across the spectrum!
Gender Identity is our internal and subjective knowledge of ourselves in terms of male-ness, female,ness, neither, or both.
Gender Expression is the way we wish to portray our gender in everyday life through our behavior, clothing, roles, etc.
The word S*x pertains to biological or physical attributes at birth (i.e. ge****ls and chromosomes)
Attraction / Orientation would include both our preference romantically and/or sexually.
Keep in mind that Identity ≠ Attraction ≠ Expression ≠ S*x
