Takatāpui (also spelled takataapui) is the Māori word meaning a devoted partner of the same sex.
 In modern terminology, a person who identifies as takatāpui is a Māori individual who is queer, in other words gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender (LGBT).
 "Takatāpui" is used nowadays in response to the Western construction of "sexuality, gender, and corresponding identity expressions."
 (gender identity and sexual identity).
 The term encompasses not only aspects of sexuality but also cultural identity.
 "Takatāpui" incorporates both a sense of indigenous identity and communicates sexual orientation; it has become an umbrella term to build solidarity among sexuality and gender minorities within Māori communities.
The Unifying Model of Sexual Identity Development, developed by Frank Dillon, Roger Worthington, and Bonnie Moradi, is a sexual identity model that draws from previous identity models such as the Homosexual Identity Development Model, the Life Span Model, and the Model of Gay and Lesbian Identity Development to create a model that can be applied to varying sexual identities.
 Dillon, Worthington, and Moradi described sexual identity development as dependent on three factors: biopsychosocial processes, individual identity, and social identity.
 The model uses five non-linear statuses that can be used to demonstrate individual and social identity.
Sexual identity is how one thinks of oneself in terms of to whom one is romantically or sexually attracted.
 "Sexual identity" may also refer to sexual orientation identity, which is when people identify or dis-identify with a sexual orientation or choose not to identify with a sexual orientation.
 Sexual identity and sexual behavior are closely related to sexual orientation, but they are distinguished, with "identity" referring to an individual's conception of themselves, "behavior" referring to actual sexual acts performed by the individual, and "sexual orientation" referring to romantic or sexual attractions toward persons of the opposite sex or gender, the same sex or gender, to both sexes or more than one gender, or to no one.
Sexual identity therapy (SIT) is a framework to "aid mental health practitioners in helping people arrive at a healthy and personally acceptable resolution of sexual identity and value conflicts."
 It was invented by Warren Throckmorton and Mark Yarhouse, professors at small conservative evangelical colleges.
 It has been endorsed by former American Psychological Association president Nick Cummings, psychiatrist Robert Spitzer, and the provost of Wheaton College, Stanton Jones.
 Sexual identity therapy puts the emphasis on how the client wants to live, identifies the core beliefs and helps the client live according to those beliefs.
 The creators state that their recommendations "are not sexual reorientation therapy protocols in disguise," but that they "help clients pursue lives they value."
 They say clients "have high levels of satisfaction with this approach".
 It is presented as an alternative to both sexual orientation change efforts and gay affirmative psychotherapy.
The market for corporate control is the role of equity markets in facilitating corporate takeovers.
 This was first described in an article by HG Manne, "Mergers and the Market for Corporate Control".
 According to Manne:
Jeanette Winterson, OBE (born 27 August 1959) is an award-winning English writer, who became famous with her first book, "Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit", a semi-autobiographical novel about a sensitive teenage girl rebelling against conventional values.
 Some of her other novels have explored gender polarities and sexual identity.
 Winterson is also a broadcaster and a professor of creative writing.
 She is a two-time winner of the Lambda Literary Award, which focuses on LGBT issues.
Philosophy of sex is an aspect of applied philosophy involved with the study of sex and love.
 It includes both ethics of phenomena such as prostitution, rape, sexual harassment, sexual identity, the age of consent, homosexuality, and conceptual analysis of concepts such as "what is sex?"
 It also includes questions of sexuality and sexual identity and the ontological status of gender.
 Leading contemporary philosophers of sex include Alan Soble and Judith Butler.
The Stone Gods is a 2007 novel by Jeanette Winterson.
 It is mainly a post apocalyptic love story concerned with corporate control of government, the harshness of war, and the dehumanization that technology brings, among other themes.
 The novel is self-referential, where later characters in the story find and read earlier sections of the book itself, and where certain sets of characters’ story arcs repeat, particularly those of a Robo 'Sapien' named Spike and her reluctant human companion, Billie.
 This technique sets the book in the postmodernist genre, though it is mainly used to warn against history’s tendency to repeat itself, as well as humanity’s inability to learn from past mistakes, even when these mistakes repeat across history, planets, and their respective evolutionary timelines.
Sexual fluidity is one or more changes in sexuality or sexual identity (sometimes known as sexual orientation identity).
 There is significant debate over whether sexuality is stable throughout life or is fluid and malleable.
 Scientific consensus is that sexual orientation, unlike sexual orientation identity, is not a choice.
 While scientists generally believe that sexual orientation is usually stable (unlikely to change), sexual identity can change throughout an individual's life, and may or may not align with biological sex, sexual behavior or actual sexual orientation.
<ref name="Concordance/discordance in SO"> </ref> There is no consensus on the exact cause of developing a sexual orientation, but genetic, hormonal, social and cultural influences have been examined.
 Scientists believe that it is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences.
Polysexuality is sexual attraction to multiple, but not all, genders.
 A polysexual person is one "encompassing or characterized by many different kinds of sexuality."
 Authors Linda Garnets and Douglas Kimmel state that polysexual is a sexual identity "used by people who recognize that the term "bisexual" reifies the gender dichotomy that underlies the distinction between heterosexuality and homosexuality, implying that bisexuality is nothing more than a hybrid combination of these gender and sexual dichotomies."
 However, it is arguable that bisexuality does not actually enforce a gender dichotomy.
 Bisexual activists will often argue the "bi" part can refer to genders which are the same and genders which are different, or simply refer to the attraction to more than one gender.
