Gender Identity Vs Sexual Orientation

136 Words1 Pages
It is my position that gender identity plays more of a role than sexual orientation does. If someone was born a male or female, it doesn’t mean that is how they automatically identify as. Society does try to fit people into the standardized thinking of blue is for boys and pink is for girls. In time though that stigma has changed and we are changing our views on how people identify. Individually we all reach a point where we choose what gender we associate with. There is always the question of being too much or too little of one gender or another that everyone struggles with. For example my sexual orientation is female, that is also how I identify, but I am not always considered feminine. I don’t wear dresses does that make me less feminine?
