The Sex, Gender, Sexuality Interlace diagram best way to explain gender and sex. In the diagram it’s easy to visualize the main categories in which we can experience self-identity and explain our own identity. This diagram is pinpoint and thorough about each of the groups mentioned, making it easy to comprehend, and straightforward to understand as well. Through this chart sex can be shown through, biological, physiological, anatomical characteristics; just as how infants are identified and this is how society also views our sex. I grew up as a female raised by other females but, gender roles weren’t a thing in our household, for example: my aunts ex-husband worked, cooked and cleaned and so did my aunt they shared their roles no one had a designated or fixed role that went with their sex. When it comes down to sexuality, society thinks that only the genders men and women exist; a binary perspective, ignoring gender diversity and the people who don’t identify in the binary categories. Gender and sexuality are not a fixed point in the spectrum, there are so many more colors that are being ignored and left out: gay individuals, bisexuals, pansexuals, queer, omnisexual etc. To me that is how the diagram, Sex, Gender, Sexuality Interlace clearly depicts what sex and gender are in a nutshell.
