Description
Based on the readings in the text and the supplemental article for this module, what factors do you believe have the biggest influence on a person’s gender identity or sexual orientation? You may choose biological or environmental factors or a combination of the two. Discuss the factors in a short journal entry and give a real or hypothetical example of how they apply in real life. Devote one section to stating your opinion and describing how it is supported by the text or reading material, and devote one section to your real or hypothetical example. For example, you might state that you believe sexual orientation is primarily determined by genes and support that with text material in your first section. In your second section, you could then share an example of a family you know with at least one gay person in each generation.

Influential Factors in Gender and Sexuality
Gender identifies individuals in various ways; it classifies people as either male or female
on cultural and social differences relatively than genetic factors. It entails how an individual
needs to be viewed in a particular community, as well as who a person is. With this, therefore,
environmental factors largely affect the gender of an individual. The gender which a particular
individual identifies himself/herself with, largely influences how other individuals will respond
to him/her, how an individual will dress, as well as the roles of an individual will perform within
their families. Some roles and traits are usually associated with males, while others are
associated with females. An individual is thus classified according to the traits he/she portrays
within a particular setting.
