Sex & Sexuality (e.g. sexuality, safer sex, coming out)
Sexuality
- Sex is the anatomy and biology that determines whether one is male, female, or intersexed (formerly called hermaphroditic). Gender is a psychosocial construct most people use to classify a person as male, female, both, or neither. Gender, like sexuality, is fluid and can change over time, in individuals and in societies.
