Trans* Facts

  • For transgender people, their sex assigned at birth and their own internal sense of gender identity are not the same.
  • Most transgender people seek to make their gender expression (how they look) match their gender identity (who they are), rather than their sex assigned at birth.
  • It is important to note that sexual and romantic/emotional attraction can be from a variety of factors including but not limited to gender identity, gender expression/presentation, and sex assigned at birth.

  • Gender Identity: one’s internal sense of being male, female, neither of these, both, or another gender.
  • Gender Expression: the physical manifestation of one’s gender identity.
  • Sex Assigned at Birth: the assignment and classification of people as male, female, intersex, or another gender based on a combination of anatomy, hormones, and chromosomes.
  • Sexual Orientation: the deep-seated direction of one’s sexual, erotic attraction.

Gender Identity, Gender Expression, and Sexual Orientation are concepts that are often used interchangeably. The misunderstanding and misuse of these terms cause many misconceptions about the Gender and Sexual Minority. The Gender Unicorn illustrates the fluidity in Gender and Sexuality.
