Gender refers to the attitudes, feelings, and behaviors that a given culture associates
with a person’s biological sex. Behavior that is compatible with cultural expectations
is referred to as gender-normative; behaviors that are viewed as incompatible with
these expectations constitute gender non-conformity.(APA,2012)
Gender identity refers to one's sense of oneself as male, female or something else
(APA, 2011). When one's gender identity and biological sex are not congruent, the
individual may identify along the transgender spectrum (APA, 2012; Gainor, 2000).
Despite the attention given to bisexuality in the work of Freud, Stekel, and a number
of other psychoanalysts, scientific research on sexuality largely ignored the issue.
Historically, most researchers failed to consider bisexuality a specific sexual identity
