3. SEX
Sex : 1) Overgeneralization term used to depict Gender* on forms and at birth 2) A Physical Act of intimate affection that may or may not lead to reproduction usually involving a person’s genitals

4. GENDER*
Gender — The complex relationship between physical traits and one’s internal sense of self as male, female, both or neither, as well as one’s outward presentations and behaviors related to that perception. Biological sex and gender are different; gender is not inherently connected to one’s physical anatomy.
Terminology from Griffin, P. & Taylor, H. (2012)

5. GENDER IDENTITY
Gender Identity — One’s inner concept of self as male, female, both or neither. One’s gender identity can be the same or different than the gender assigned at birth. Most people become conscious of their gender identity between the ages of 18 months and 3 years.
Special note: Most people have a gender identity that matches their assigned gender at birth. For some, however, their gender identity is different from their assigned gender.
Terminology from Griffin, P. & Taylor, H. (2012)

6. GENDER Expression
Gender Expression — Refers to the ways in which people externally communicate their gender identity to others through behavior, clothing, haircut, voice and other forms of presentation.
This may include gender fluidity in some people
Terminology from Griffin, P. & Taylor, H. (2012)

7. GENDER Expression
Gender expression also works the other way as people assign gender to others based on their appearance, mannerisms and other gendered characteristics.
Special note: Many transgender people seek to make their external appearance — their gender expression — congruent with their internal gender identity through clothing, pronouns, names, and, in some cases, hormones and surgical procedures. 
Terminology from Griffin, P. & Taylor, H. (2012)

8. Sexual Orientation
Sexual Orientation — Refers to being romantically or sexually attracted to people of a specific gender, or in the case of bisexual people, any gender.
Terminology from Griffin, P. & Taylor, H. (2012)

9. Our sexual orientation and our gender identity are separate, distinct parts of our overall identity. Although children may not yet be aware of their sexual orientation, they usually have a strong sense of their gender identity.
Terminology from Griffin, P. & Taylor, H. (2012)

10. Sexuality
1) Any way in which person's gender, sexual preference, sexual likes or dis-likes, or intimate relations manifests through a person's personality. Can include physical acts but also can include not physical items such as "sexy" poses in advertisements for example or sexual preference
