Sex vs Gender vs Orientation · A Capture Deep Vibs A Positive Space For Inspiration And Embracing Of Heart

  Speaker 1: In recent years, there have been new findings that have
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: radically changed the way many of us view sexuality and gender.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Today's youth will have a new and prejudice-free understanding of
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: these topics. That's great. But what about the rest of
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: us who have completed our formal education or are already
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: being taught outdated sex ed programming? In the United States,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: 80% of schools are failing government standards for sex ed.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: In turn, this lack of education has resulted in the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: ignorance and mistreatment of trans and gender non-conforming individuals. Let's
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: take a look at sex, gender, and orientation. Here's a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: brief look at their differences, what we can change, and
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: what we can't. Sex. Sex is what lies between our legs.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: It is the physiology we are born with. Our sex
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: consists of our biological makeup, which can include things like
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: our genitals, our secondary sex characteristics, our placement of body hair,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: hip width, our hairlines, and our chromosomal makeup. As you
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: might know, Your chromosomal makeup can determine sex characteristics that
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: are typical of males or females. The problem with relying
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: solely on science to determine someone's gender? Biology can be tricky.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Having male or female typical chromosomes doesn't always lead to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the secondary sex characteristics typical to that sex. People with
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: male typical XY chromosomal combinations may actually exhibit female characteristics instead.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: This contrast between makeup and characteristics is what many call intersex.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Intersex individuals often do not fit typical definitions of male
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: or female bodies.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Gender.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Gender is a construct. I know we've all heard this before.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: We hear people say it all the time. But what
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: does it actually mean? Well, it means gender is what
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: we make it out to be. Our genders consist of
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: two things. The first is our gender identity. This is
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: what we think about ourselves and how we interpret gender.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: The second is our gender expression. Gender expression is how
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: we demonstrate our gender in our behaviors, mannerisms, and forms
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of dress. Gender also consists of the societal expectations and
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: stereotypes we place on people. We often base these expectations
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: off of their sex characteristics. You may have heard of
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: some of these typical stereotypes. Pink for girls, blue for boys.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Action figures versus dolls. Long hair versus buzz cuts. Women
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: must be feminine while men must be masculine. This is
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: not to discredit or disrespect any girly girls or manly
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: men out there. Many of us feel comfortable in our
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: expected genders, and that's perfectly okay. But of course, there
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: are a number of people who don't want to adhere
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to every norm. Different people view and express their gender differently.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: There are some people who do not identify with the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: gender role the world has given them, and so they
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: identify as another. These are transgender people. There are also
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: people who prefer to have both or neither of the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: traditional man-woman gender titles. These are non-binary or genderqueer people. Orientation.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Orientation is about who we like. Orientation is about the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: sex-gender combination, or lack thereof, that we are most attracted to.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Most people are heterosexual. They are attracted to people of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the opposite gender. Homosexual people are attracted to those of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the same gender. Bisexual people are attracted to people of
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: both genders. Some people couldn't care less about gender. To some,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: it's all about the appeal of masculine or feminine energy.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Some people are pansexual. This means that they are capable
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of falling for someone regardless of their sex or gender presentation.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: A lot of people seem to think this one's a choice,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: but we all just feel what we feel. Our urges
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: are innate and made subconsciously. The only choice anyone has
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: about who they fall for is the choice to pursue
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: them or not. Please remember, these definitions are brief and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: sexuality is vast and complicated. Some of this is obvious
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to many of you, but considering the statistics we have
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: on sex education today, a lot of us may benefit
• 3:58
