5. Sexual Orientation- As mentioned earlier, a
person’s sexual orientation is their emotional and erotic attraction toward
another individual. While the majority of people identify as heterosexual,
there is a sizable population of people within the United States who identify as
either homosexual or bisexual. Research suggests that somewhere between 3% and
10% of the population identifies as homosexual (Kinsey, Pomeroy, & Martin,
1948; LeVay, 1996; Pillard & Bailey, 1995).
Gender Identity- Many
people conflate sexual orientation with gender identity because of
stereotypical attitudes that exist about homosexuality. In reality, these are
two related, but different, issues. Gender identity refers to one’s sense of
being male or female. Generally, our gender identities correspond to our
chromosomal and phenotypic sex, but this is not always the case. When
individuals do not feel comfortable identifying with the gender associated with
their biological sex, then they may experience gender dysphoria. Gender
dysphoria is a diagnostic category in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) that describes individuals who
do not identify as the gender that most people would assume they are. This
dysphoria must persist for at least six months and result in significant
distress or dysfunction to meet DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. In order for
children to be assigned this diagnostic category, they must verbalize their
desire to become the other gender.
