Almost 23,000 individuals were observed twice over 6 years by researchers in a study on #SexualFluidity.

Women aged over 65 are one of the most “sexually fluid” groups, challenging the assumption that moving between heterosexual & non-heterosexual identities is more common among younger people.

In addition, sexual identity mobility is three times more likely among non-white minority ethnic individuals (15.5%) than among white people (5.0%).

A #question popped into my mind.
A #transgender person identifies themself in a different gender from the one assigned at birth.
But what if parents decided to not assign a gender (as some people actually do)? Could that person be considered transgender in any future scenario? Or the transgender definition is actually rooted in the biological characteristics? Or is it about how the society assumes the gender “intuitively”?

I never properly introduced myself on here- so here goes. I am researching various aspects of the interaction between #policy, #education, #media, and #politics from a #digitalsociology perspective. I am also interested in #digitalidentity in relation to #professionalidentity following on from my PhD on the #digitalmediation of #womens #sexualidentity
