1 00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:01,270 [Music] 2 00:00:01,574 --> 00:00:05,404 Plan International is committed to achieving gender equality 3 00:00:05,548 --> 00:00:07,848 and fostering an inclusive society 4 00:00:08,770 --> 00:00:12,814 we support and empower adolescents in all their diversity 5 00:00:13,010 --> 00:00:16,263 regardless of their gender, ability, ethnicity, 6 00:00:16,325 --> 00:00:18,290 or any other identity. 7 00:00:18,940 --> 00:00:21,235 This includes sexual orientation, 8 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:22,708 gender identity, 9 00:00:22,903 --> 00:00:25,663 gender expression, and sex characteristics 10 00:00:25,788 --> 00:00:27,709 or SOGIESC for short. 11 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,303 But what actually is SOGIESC? 12 00:00:30,820 --> 00:00:33,806 Let's break it down using the SOGIESC person. 13 00:00:34,490 --> 00:00:38,390 This helps us understand that each of the individual terms 14 00:00:38,390 --> 00:00:40,650 has a different meaning and combined 15 00:00:41,030 --> 00:00:43,629 they make up a person's SOGIESC identity. 16 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,380 Let's start with sexual orientation 17 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,420 this is shown as the heart 18 00:00:48,573 --> 00:00:51,014 as it's about who you are emotionally 19 00:00:51,290 --> 00:00:53,831 physically and sexually attracted to. 20 00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:56,552 One person might be attracted to someone 21 00:00:56,702 --> 00:00:58,455 of a different gender to themselves. 22 00:00:58,689 --> 00:01:01,520 For example, a woman who is heterosexual 23 00:01:01,628 --> 00:01:02,961 is attracted to men. 24 00:01:04,231 --> 00:01:06,537 Another person might be attracted to someone 25 00:01:06,620 --> 00:01:08,583 of the same gender as themselves. 26 00:01:08,906 --> 00:01:11,706 For example, a woman who is a lesbian 27 00:01:11,890 --> 00:01:13,539 is attracted to other women 28 00:01:14,699 --> 00:01:17,100 Yet another person might be attracted to people 29 00:01:17,150 --> 00:01:18,470 of more than one gender. 30 00:01:19,020 --> 00:01:21,849 For example, a woman who is bisexual 31 00:01:21,969 --> 00:01:24,560 is attracted to both men and women. 32 00:01:26,653 --> 00:01:29,580 Now, let's talk about gender identity. 33 00:01:30,140 --> 00:01:31,673 This is shown as the brain 34 00:01:31,940 --> 00:01:35,880 as it's about how you think and feel about yourself and your gender. 35 00:01:36,380 --> 00:01:39,719 Some people identify as either a woman or a man. 36 00:01:40,019 --> 00:01:41,954 This is a common way of thinking. 37 00:01:42,250 --> 00:01:44,440 But actually many people feel 38 00:01:44,623 --> 00:01:47,143 that they don't fit with these two genders 39 00:01:47,730 --> 00:01:50,181 They might feel they are a mixture of the two 40 00:01:50,559 --> 00:01:53,309 or are something else that can't be clearly defined. 41 00:01:53,909 --> 00:01:55,559 A person's gender identity 42 00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:58,550 might reflect the sex that they were assigned at birth 43 00:01:59,030 --> 00:02:00,270 or it might not. 44 00:02:00,710 --> 00:02:02,790 For example, a trans woman 45 00:02:02,940 --> 00:02:05,360 might have been described as male at birth, 46 00:02:05,690 --> 00:02:07,936 but now identifies as female. 47 00:02:08,798 --> 00:02:10,650 Now, gender expression. 48 00:02:10,980 --> 00:02:13,180 this involves the whole person 49 00:02:13,330 --> 00:02:15,450 because it is about the different ways 50 00:02:15,610 --> 00:02:18,018 that you communicate your gender identity 51 00:02:18,183 --> 00:02:19,479 to the outside world. 52 00:02:19,890 --> 00:02:21,610 This could include how you dress, 53 00:02:21,770 --> 00:02:22,986 what haircut you have, 54 00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:25,090 how you act or what name you use. 55 00:02:26,030 --> 00:02:29,021 Finally, let's talk about sex characteristics. 56 00:02:29,210 --> 00:02:32,300 We show these as genitalia because they reflect whether 57 00:02:32,448 --> 00:02:34,968 wether someone is biologically and physically 58 00:02:35,140 --> 00:02:38,770 female or male as well as your external genitalia 59 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,770 sex characteristics include 60 00:02:40,890 --> 00:02:43,150 your hormones chromosomes body shape 61 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,109 voice speech and body hair 62 00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:47,312 a person who is intersex 63 00:02:47,459 --> 00:02:49,376 is born with sex characteristics 64 00:02:49,490 --> 00:02:51,851 that are not completely male or female 65 00:02:52,221 --> 00:02:54,138 they are a combination of both 66 00:02:54,651 --> 00:02:56,960 so let's put all the pieces together 67 00:02:57,550 --> 00:02:59,438 sexual orientation is about 68 00:02:59,559 --> 00:03:03,410 who you are emotionally, physically and sexually attracted to. 69 00:03:03,540 --> 00:03:06,196 gender identity is about how you think 70 00:03:06,313 --> 00:03:08,800 and feel about yourself and your gender 71 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,350 gender expression is about how you communicate 72 00:03:11,590 --> 00:03:14,470 your gender identity to the outside 73 00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:17,590 world and sex characteristics are about 74 00:03:17,590 --> 00:03:20,620 your biology such as genitalia hormones 75 00:03:20,620 --> 00:03:23,950 and body shape each of us has a sexual 76 00:03:23,950 --> 00:03:26,470 orientation gender identity gender 77 00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:30,430 expression and sex characteristics they 78 00:03:30,430 --> 00:03:33,250 combine to make up a unique soggiest 79 00:03:33,250 --> 00:03:36,970 identity Sergius is fluid this means 80 00:03:36,970 --> 00:03:39,100 that there are lots of different options 81 00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:41,560 with no right or wrong way to be also 82 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,250 things can change over time our Saji ask 83 00:03:45,250 --> 00:03:47,350 identity combines with other factors 84 00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:50,739 such as our age where we live whether we 85 00:03:50,739 --> 00:03:52,810 are rich of work or whether we have a 86 00:03:52,810 --> 00:03:55,900 disability to make who we are it also 87 00:03:55,900 --> 00:03:59,500 affects our power in society sometimes 88 00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:02,079 people are discriminated or excluded 89 00:04:02,079 --> 00:04:03,340 because of their sexual orientation 90 00:04:03,340 --> 00:04:06,970 gender identity gender expression and 91 00:04:06,970 --> 00:04:09,970 sex characteristics this includes people 92 00:04:09,970 --> 00:04:11,600 who identify as less 93 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,320 bein gay bisexual trans intersex or 94 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,180 questioning known as LGBTI Q+ we all 95 00:04:20,180 --> 00:04:23,660 have the right to define and be proud of 96 00:04:23,660 --> 00:04:27,230 our soggiest identity there is no need 97 00:04:27,230 --> 00:04:30,830 to stereotype or harm people everyone is 98 00:04:30,830 --> 00:04:34,160 unique we must all recognize accept and 99 00:04:34,160
