Understanding the Gender Spectrum
Leah Marie Tumlos-Castillo
Sexual Orientation: To Whom Am I Physically and Emotionally Attracted?
Sexual orientation is about who one is physically and emotionally attracted to. Physical (or sexual) attraction
can be thought of as the want, need or desire for physical contact and relationships. Emotional (or romantic)
attraction, on the other hand, is an affinity for others and the desire for emotional relationships.
Understanding the Gender Spectrum
Cultivating a sense of awareness towards different gender identities is helpful in understanding the gender
spectrum. Through an increased awareness, individuals develop gender sensitivity that aid in eliminating
prejudices and discriminations against those who choose to break through the binary. Each ones gender falls
within the gender spectrum being openminded and respectful helps one relate healthily to each other, and
thus contributes to a more peaceful and harmonious society.
