Gender Orientation is also known as Sexual Orientation, it is that desire or interest that a human being has for another of a different gender. The term derives from a study in which the behavior of different species was verified, not only in humans but also in different animals that instinctively seek the proximity of the opposite sex to comply with their guideline to reproduce.
Gender orientation as a social factor was classist for many years, tied to different taboos and repressive issues of society, however with the passing of time and the "relaxation" of the norms of society, the community has been allowed to have greater access to people who do not comply with the basic guidelines of defining their sexual orientation and role in a different way, let's see the classification of sexual orientations that currently exist:
- Heterosexual: the basic orientation, seen from the biological as well as the cultural and social point of view, of a man towards a woman or vice versa, that is to say, attraction towards the opposite sex.
- Homosexual: It is when a person feels attraction to an individual of the same sex, usually when he is Man - Man it is called Gay, when he is Woman - Woman it is known as Lesbians.
- Bisexual:
- Asexual:
People who feel attraction, taste and desire for subjects of different sex.
Contrary to the above, asexual people have no sexual interest or taste in people, not even either of the two roles.
There are also transgender or transsexual people who change their appearance to look like a man or a woman respectively have a different sexual orientation than the main one, they are generally homosexual.
