Re: Topic 2 DQ 1

Good morning class and Professor,

When it comes to sexual orientation, it would possibly be: their sexual orientation is their exmotional and erotic attration toward other people. Then sexuality would be defined as: a capicity for sexual feelings. The term sex has to do with their reproductive functions and it is also a person's biological characteristics that would make you a male or female. Now gender would be: the socially constructed or nonbiological characteristics that make us a male or female. It would relate to a person's sense of being male or female which is based on their socially constructed ideas about what ech gender is like. Bottom line it includes both biological and social influences. What I learned about these two is that one means something differently, where I though growing up they were the same thing. I never knew that there was a difference. I don't want to sound naive but when I was growing up, sex education classes, etc. were different than what it is today. However, I did learn alot from my reading.

Thank you and have a good day.

The category of sex is the physical or biological features that make a person male or female. In gender, it is the nonbiological features that a person wants to be recognized as male or female. In these days there are so many gender idenifications that people have created. Sexuality is a differed opinion, some think it is a mental illness while others think that it is how someone is wired when they are born. There are biologies that can factor how someone feels or relates on the inside, but the alterations to create that gender will always be rooted in their given sex at birth
