An internal sense of being male, female, non-binary, or another gender.

Who a person is physically or emotionally attracted to. Transgender people can be straight, gay, bisexual, or pansexual.

It is important to distinguish between how someone identifies and who they are attracted to.

Always use the pronouns a person asks you to use. If you aren't sure, it is polite to ask or use gender-neutral "they/them."
