This could depend on how you dress, walk, talk or act, or on your body shape. Some of your gender expressions \u2013 like your haircut, clothing or makeup \u2013 could change from day to day.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you were born, the doctor or midwife assigned you a sex based on your body\u2019s physical characteristics. This is a fixed category that may be different from how your gender self-identity develops as you grow.

Some people might be classified as \u2018intersex\u2019 (or something else) when their sex characteristics, chromosomes or hormones are a bit ambiguous and don\u2019t fit neatly into what we designate as \u2018male\u2019 or \u2018female\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4097b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d4097b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b><i>Physical attraction<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> refers to the characteristics of a person that might make you physically or sexually attracted to them.
