Gender and sexuality are closely related and often intertwined. Gender is a social construct that is based on cultural and societal expectations of how people should act, dress, and talk based on their assigned sex. Sexuality, on the other hand, is a person's sexual orientation, which is their emotional, romantic, and/or physical attraction to another person. Gender and sexuality are interrelated in that gender can influence a person's sexuality, and sexuality can influence how a person expresses their gender.
