Gender: Includes actual or perceived sex, gender identity, and gender expression including a person's actual or perceived gender-related self-image, appearance, behavior, expression, or other gender-related characteristic, regardless of the sex assigned to that person at birth. The characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that socially constructed and gender norms (stereotypes) can and do vary within different cultures and societies.
Sexuality: A person's identity in relation to the gender or genders to which they are typically attracted; sexual orientation.
