In the text, the writers tell us about the importance of women’s gender, sex, and sexuality identities. The word gender identified us as a male and female in social life. It also has assignments during childbirth and they are labeled as girls or boys anxiety. While the term sex refers to someone’s sexual anatomy and has a biological difference between males and females, such as genitalia and genetic differences. That’s why when a medical doctor always tells us when a baby girl is born that she is a female base on the girl sex they are characterized as chromosome, organs, hormonal so it is important that we know that whenever the doctor is referring to the sex of a girl we should always know that he is talking to her body. Lastly, the term sexuality describes a person’s physically sexual feeling. We can express our sexuality through our thoughts, fantasies, desires, beliefs, attitudes, values, behavior, practice, roles, and relationships. I also learn and understand that sexuality can be identified in so many ways like homosexual, heterosexual, or bisexual, gay, and straight all of these tell us about the sexual orientation of a person. The binary makes us understand that these identities are not the same for everyone. It is very important to know the importance of when and where to use these words. Though my understanding is limited, I plan on learning to express the perspective view of how sex, gender, and sexual orientation is important
