00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,829
It's important for
us to have a common definition so

2
00:00:03,829 --> 00:00:07,143
we're on the same page, language matters.

3
00:00:07,143 --> 00:00:11,195
Gender is how someone identifies,
it is fluid.

4
00:00:11,195 --> 00:00:16,311
This means that gender isn't restricted
to the gender binary which is male and

5
00:00:16,311 --> 00:00:16,940
female.

6
00:00:16,940 --> 00:00:22,897
There are many genders it's all in how the
person identifies and that's up to them.

7
00:00:22,897 --> 00:00:29,116
Gender is different from sexuality, which
we will discuss later on in the seminar.

8
00:00:29,116 --> 00:00:32,884
Let's review some of
the many gender identities.

9
00:00:32,884 --> 00:00:37,801
Cisgender also known as cis is
someone whose identity matches with

10
00:00:37,801 --> 00:00:39,570
their biological sex.

11
00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:44,673
For instance,
I identify as a cisgender female.

12
00:00:44,673 --> 00:00:48,241
When we talk about male and
female, we're talking about sex.

13
00:00:48,241 --> 00:00:51,435
Sex is biological and assigned at birth.

14
00:00:51,435 --> 00:00:54,851
Sex can also include intersex.

15
00:00:54,851 --> 00:00:58,522
Intersex is when a person is
born with reproductive or

16
00:00:58,522 --> 00:01:02,780
sexual anatomy that doesn't fit
the boxes of male or female.

17
00:01:02,780 --> 00:01:09,025
Someone who identifies as transgender
means that their personal identity and

18
00:01:09,025 --> 00:01:12,819
gender do not correspond
with their birth sex.

19
00:01:12,819 --> 00:01:17,210
I wanna point out that someone
who is trans may not have had

20
00:01:17,210 --> 00:01:19,783
transition surgery or want any.

21
00:01:19,783 --> 00:01:24,058
They may have had some surgery and
hormone replacement or

22
00:01:24,058 --> 00:01:26,738
they may have fully transitioned.

23
00:01:26,738 --> 00:01:31,598
Someone who identifies as genderqueer
is someone who does not subscribe

24
00:01:31,598 --> 00:01:35,739
to gender distinctions, but
identifies with neither both or

25
00:01:35,739 --> 00:01:38,619
a combination of male and female genders.

26
00:01:38,619 --> 00:01:44,380
Whereas someone who is gender fluid
identifies as not having a fixed gender.

27
00:01:44,380 --> 00:01:47,296
Non-binary is an umbrella term for

28
00:01:47,296 --> 00:01:53,040
someone whose identity is neither
entirely male or entirely female.

29
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,816
Gender non-conforming, or gender variance,
is a gender expression by

30
00:01:57,816 --> 00:02:02,061
someone who doesn't match masculine or
feminine gender norms.

31
00:02:02,061 --> 00:02:05,990
Two-spirit is a gender
identity I recently learned.

32
00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:11,252
Two-spirit refers to someone who
identifies as having both a masculine and

33
00:02:11,252 --> 00:02:15,261
a feminine spirit and
is used by some indigenous people to

34
00:02:15,261 --> 00:02:19,371
describe their sexual,
gender, and spiritual identity.

35
00:02:19,371 --> 00:02:23,538
There are many genders,
this list is not all inclusive.

36
00:02:23,538 --> 00:02:27,320
This isn't meant to make you feel like
you need to memorize every single one.

37
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,376
It is to remind you to be mindful
of each person's gender identity,

38
00:02:32,376 --> 00:02:36,204
because everyone is different,
so do not assume.

39
00:02:36,204 --> 00:02:41,937

the video to learn more about genders and
