Gender and sex encompass a spectrum of identities beyond the traditional binary. This presentation explores key concepts including biological sex, intersex conditions, gender identity, non-binary geschlecht, and transgender experiences. It also discusses challenges faced by non-binär individuals in school settings and suggests ways to create more inclusive environments.
• Biological sex refers to physical characteristics but doesn't always fit neatly into male/female categories
• Gender identity is a personal sense of one's gender, independent of assigned sex
• Non-binary and transgender identities exist outside the gender binary
• Schools are working to implement more inclusive policies but challenges remain
• Personal experiences highlight both progress and ongoing issues for non-binär students
