Answer to Question 1

Gender identity is a relatively broad term that indicates a person's acceptance of the
roles and behaviors that society imposes upon the biological categories of being
male or female. For example, if a person has a penis, scrotum, testes, chest hair,
and a deep voice, and chooses to wear pants and shirts, he identifies himself as
male. Gender roles, as a subcategory of gender identity, refers to specific patterns of
behavior that apply to males and females. For example, women are allowed to wear
makeup and typically wait to be asked out on a date rather than be the one doing the
asking. Sexual orientation refers to the person's sexual and romantic attractions,
whether to the same sex (homosexual), the opposite sex (heterosexual), or both
(bisexual).
