Gender & Sexuality

Gender identity and sexual orientation are not the same.

Gender identity refers to the way in which a person understands, identifies or expresses their masculine or feminine characteristics within a particular sociocultural context. This may or may not be aligned with the person’s assigned sex at birth. Some people may identify as one gender in one setting and a different gender in another.

Sexual orientation is the nature of a person’s basic sexual and/or romantic attraction to other people.

The Australian Sex Discrimination Act 1984 makes it unlawful to discriminate on the basis of a person’s sexual orientation, gender identity and intersex status. The AHRC’s Face the Facts resource sheets offer accurate and easy to understand information on this and other key areas of the Commission’s work.
