Blasting Through Gender Binaries and Attraction

Gender identity, gender presentation, and sexual orientation are beautiful and complex forms of identity that mix and match in infinite ways. Sometimes they are completely independent from one another, and at other times, they are so entangled that it would do injustice if separation were attempted. Unfortunately, due to widespread homophobia (and cisnormativity), the meshing or conflating of gender and sexual orientation labels around gender norms can be both limiting as well as used as weapons against different people and communities.
