Working Title: A Phenomenological Study on the Discriminatory Experiences of the LGBT

Background of the Study:

1. Define What is Sex
According to: Canadian Institutes of Health Research
link: http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/47830.html
Sex refers to a set of biological attributes in humans and animals. It is primarily associated with
physical and physiological features including chromosomes, gene expression, hormone levels and
function, and reproductive/sexual anatomy. Sex is usually categorized as female or male but there is
variation in the biological attributes that comprise sex and how those attributes are expressed.

According to: Reach Out

Link: https://au.reachout.com/articles/the-difference-between-sex-sexuality-and-gender
When people refer to someone’s sex (sometimes called biological or physical sex), they’re talking
about that person’s identity based on their physical characteristics (e.g. having a penis, vagina, beard
or breasts, etc.), genes and hormones.

According to: Planned Parenthood

Link: https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/sexual-orientation-gender/gender-gender-identity
Sex is a label — male or female — that you’re assigned by a doctor at birth based on the genitals
you’re born with and the chromosomes you have. It goes on your birth certificate.

2. Define What is Gender

According to: Psychology Today

difference-vs-gender-difference-oh-im-so-confused
According to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, "Gender is cultural and
is the term to use when referring to women and men as social groups.

According to: Gender

Link: http://www.gender.cawater-info.net/what_is/index_e.htm
Gender is a socially constructed definition of women and men. It is not the same as sex (biological
characteristics of women and men) and it is not the same as women. Gender is determined by the
conception of tasks, functions and roles attributed to women and men in society and in public and
private life.
[Gender in practice.

6. What is LGBT
According to: American Psychological Association
Link: http://www.apa.org/topics/lgbt/index.aspx
LGBT is shorthand for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. The “LGB” in this term refers to sexual
orientation. Sexual orientation is defined as an often enduring pattern of emotional, romantic and/or
sexual attractions of men to women or women to men (heterosexual), of women to women or men to
men (homosexual), or by men or women to both sexes (bisexual). It also refers to an individual’s sense
of personal and social identity based on those attractions, related behaviors and membership in a
community of others who share those attractions and behaviors. Some people who have same-sex
attractions or relationships may identify as “queer,” or, for a range of personal, social or political
reasons, may choose not to self-identify with these or any labels.

The "T" in LGBT stands for transgender or gender non-conforming, and is an umbrella term for people
whose gender identity or gender expression does not conform to that typically associated with the sex
to which they were assigned at birth.

According to: University of California San Francisco

Link: https://lgbt.ucsf.edu/glossary-terms
LGBT is the abbreviation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender. An umbrella term used to refer to
the community as a whole.

According to: Wikipedia

Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT
LGBT, or GLBT, is an initialism that stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. In use since the
1990s, the term is an adaptation of the initialism LGB, which was used to replace the term gay in
reference to the LGBT community beginning in the mid-to-late 1980s. Activists believed that the term
gay community did not accurately represent all those to whom it referred.
