1) The document discusses gender, sexuality, and biological factors related to sex and gender identity. It defines key terms like gender, transgender, and sexuality.
2) It then covers topics like the sexual response cycle, biology of sexual response, and chemistry of lust and love. It discusses the role of hormones and brain regions in sexual arousal and attachment.
3) Finally, it addresses issues like erogenous zones, sexual diversity, common STDs, and ways to prevent STDs. It emphasizes that gender and sexuality exist on spectrums rather than binaries.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEX AND GENDER?
By far, sex and gender have been two of the most
socially significant factors in the history of the
world and the United States. Sex is one’s
biological classification as male or female, which is
biologically determined at the moment the sperm
fertilizes the egg. Sex can be precisely defined at
the genetic level with XX being female and XY
being male. The main difference between sexes is
the reproductive body parts assigned to each
(including their functions and corresponding
hormones).
Males and females have much more in common than they have differences. Every major
system of the human body functions in very similar ways to the point that health
guidelines, disease prevention and maintenance, and even organ transplants are very
similar and guided under a large umbrella of shared guidelines. True, there are medical
specialists in treating men and women, but again the similarities outweigh the differences.
Today you probably ate breakfast, took a shower (hopefully), walked in the sunlight,
sweated, slept, used the bathroom, was exposed to germs and pathogens, grew more hair
and finger nails, exerted your muscles to the point that they became stronger, and felt and
managed stress. So did every man and woman you know and in very similar ways.
So, why the big debate of the battle of the sexes? Perhaps it’s because of the impact of
gender, the cultural definition of what it means to be a man or a woman. In other words,
gender is socialized behaviors prescribed for society’s members based on their sex.
Therefore, sex=male, female and gender=masculine, feminine. Gender is culturally-based
and varies in a thousand subtle ways across the many diverse cultures of the world.
Gender has been shaped by political, religious, philosophical, linguistic, traditional, and
other cultural forces for many years. To this day, in most countries of the world women
and girls are still oppressed and denied access to opportunities more often than men and
boys. This can be seen through many diverse historical documents. When reading these
documents, the most common theme of how women were historically oppressed in the
world’s societies is the omission of women as being legally, biologically, economically, and

even spiritually on par with men. The second most common theme is the assumption that
women were somehow broken versions of men or lesser beings than men.1

Marieb. E.N. (2001) explains that gonads begin to form until the eighth week of embryonic development. During the early stages of human development, embryonic reproductive structures of males and females are alike and said to be in indifferent stage.
The presence of male and female structures depends on the presence of testosterone.
Any intervention with the normal pattern of sex hormone production in the embryo results in strange abnormalities.
Puberty is the period of life, generally between the ages of 10 to 15 years old, when the reproductive -organs grow to their adult size and become functional under the influence of rising levels of gonadal hormones (testosterone on males and estrogen on females).
In males, as they reach the age of 13, puberty is characterized by the increased in the size of the reproductive organs followed by the appearance of hair in the public area, axillary, and face.
In females, the budding of their breast usually occurring at the age of 11. Menarche is the first menstrual of females which happens two years after the start of puberty.
This presentation aims to assist the participants to understand the basic concept of Gender and Development (GAD) such as difference of SEX and GENDER as well as the relevance of Gender for Development.
https://bit.ly/BabeSideDoll4u Babeside is a company that specializes in creating handcrafted reborn dolls. These dolls are designed to be incredibly lifelike, with realistic skin tones and hair, and they have become increasingly popular among collectors and those who use them for therapeutic purposes. At Babeside, we believe that our reborn dolls can provide comfort and healing to anyone who needs it.
The Healing Power of Babeside's Handcrafted Creations
Our reborn dolls are more than just beautiful pieces of art - they can also help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Studies have shown that holding or cuddling a soft object like a stuffed animal or a reborn doll can release oxytocin, which is often referred to as the "love hormone." This hormone helps us feel calm and relaxed, reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.
In addition to their physical benefits, reborn dolls can also offer emotional support. For many people, having something to care for and nurture can bring a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Reborn dolls can also serve as a reminder of happy memories or loved ones who have passed away.

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
3. GENDER
Gender is ‘the structure of social relations that centers on the reproductive
arena, and the set of practices that bring reproductive distinctions into social
processes (Connell 2002: 10)
A term that refers to social or cultural distinctions associated with a given
sex; it is generally considered to be a socially constructed concept.
Gender underlies assumptions regarding ‘masculine’ or ‘feminine’
behaviour
4. Gender
An adjective used to describe a person whose gender identity and gender expression align with sex
assigned at birth Cisgender replaces the terms "nontransgender" or "bio man/bio woman" to
refer to individuals who have a match between the gender they were assigned at birth, their bodies
and their gender identity (Schilt & Westbrook, 2009).
Transgender
An adjective that is a umbrella term used to describe the full range of people whose gender
identity and/or gender role do not conform to what is typically associated with their sex assigned at
birth.
5. Transgender
An umbrella term that incorporates differences in gender identity wherein one's assigned biological
sex doesn't match their felt identity. This umbrella term includes persons who do not feel they fit
into a dichotomous sex structure through which they are identified as male or female. Individuals in
this category may feel as if they are in the wrong gender, but this perception may or may not correlate
with a desire for surgical or hormonal reassignment (Meier & Labuski, 2013)
Transwoman and Transman Transwoman is a person who was naturally born or physically assigned
as male at birth but feels that this is not an accurate and complete description of him and identifies as
a female. Transman is a person who was naturally born or physically assigned as female at birth, but
who feels that this is not an accurate or complete description of her and consequently identifies as a
male.
6. Gender Expression Refers to the ways that humans choose to display their gender identity to the
world usually expressed through behavior, clothing, haircut or voice, and which may or may not
conform to socially defined behaviors and characteristics typically associated with being either
masculine or feminine.
Gender Equality Gender equality is achieved when women and men enjoy the same rights and
opportunities across all sectors of society, including economic participation and decision-making,
and when the different behaviours, aspirations and needs of women and men are equally valued
and favoured.
7. SEXUALITY
Your sexuality is about who you’re attracted to sexually and romantically.
Human sexuality refers to people’s sexual interest in and attraction to others, as well as their
capacity to have erotic experiences and responses.
Straight/Heterosexual Attracted mostly to people of the opposite sex or gender.
Gay/Homosexual Attracted mostly to people of the same sex or gender (refers to guys – and
often to girls, too).
Lesbian Attracted mostly to people of the same sex or gender (refers to women).
Bisexual Attracted to both men and wome
8. Biological Perspective of One’s Sex
At conception, egg and sperm unite to create a new organism
that incorporates some characteristics of each parent.
The first 22 pairs are called AUTOSOMES.
The last pair is known as the SEX CHROMOSOMES.
9. The Sexual Response Cycle
The hypothalamus is the most important part of the brain for sexual functioning; it produces
important sexual hormones that are then secreted by the pituitary gland.
Sex hormones that influence sexual behavior include:
oxytocin,
prolactin,
vasopressin,
follicle stimulating hormone(FSH)
luteinizing hormone (LH),
others include testosterone in males and estrogen and progesterone in females.
10. The Biology of the Sexual Response
5 Stages:
Desire (libido)
The stage in which a man or woman begins to want or "desire" sexual intimacy or gratification,
may last anywhere from a moment to many years.
Muscle tension increases.
11. Excitement (arousal)
Heart rate quickens and breathing is accelerated.
Skin may become flushed (blotches of redness appear on the chest and back).
Nipples become hardened or erect.
Blood flow to the genitals increases, resulting in swelling of the woman's clitoris and labia minora (inner lips), and erection
of the man's penis.
Vaginal lubrication begins.
The woman's breasts become fuller and the vaginal walls begin to swell.
The changes begun in phase 1 are intensified.
The vagina continues to swell from increased blood flow, and the vaginal walls turn a dark purple.
12. Plateau
The woman's clitoris becomes highly sensitive (may even be painful to
touch) and retracts under the clitoral hood to avoid direct stimulation
from the penis.
The man's testicles are withdrawn up into the scrotum. Breathing,
heart rate, and blood pressure continue to increase. Muscle spasms may
begin in the feet, face, and hands.
13. Orgasm (Duration: less than 1 minute)
Heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure reach their peak, sexual flush spreads over the body, and
there is a loss of muscle control (spasms).
The uterus, vagina, anus, and muscles of the pelvic floor contract 5 to 12 times at 0.8-second
intervals. Note: Women can have orgasm, move back into plateau stage, and achieve another
orgasm (called “multiple orgasms”).
Ejaculation occurs (contractions of the ejaculatory duct in the prostate gland cause semen to be
ejected through the urethra and penis), and the urethra, anus, and muscles of pelvic floor contract 3
to 6 times at 0.8-second intervals.
14. Resolution
Swelled and erect body parts return to their previous size and color. This
phase is marked by a general sense of well-being, enhanced intimacy and,
often, fatigue. Refractory period
15. activity
Please write down 5 differences between love and lust. (5 mins)
Each member will share and discuss with the group their answer and summarize them. (10 mins)
Representative of each group will discuss it with the class. (5 mins/group)
16. Chemistry of Lust and Love
• The prefrontal cortex shuts off whenever we experience
lust and attraction
LUST
• The hypothalamus of the brain plays a big role in this,
stimulating the production of the sex hormones
testosterone and estrogen from the testes and ovaries
ATTRACTION • While we can certainly lust for someone we
are attracted to, and vice versa, one can happen without the
other. • Attraction involves the brain pathways that control
“reward” behavior which partly explains why the first few
weeks or months of a relationship can be so exhilarating
and even all consuming.
17. ATTRACTION
• The hypothalamus releases DOPAMINE and
NOREPINEPHRINE, hormones that are released when we do
things that feel do to us. • Such release can lead to decreased
appetite and insomnia Norepinephrine is also known as
NORADREANALIN, a hormone that plays a large role in the
fight or flight response
ATTACHMENT • Attachment is the predominant factor in long-
term relationships. • While lust and attraction are pretty much
exclusive to romantic entanglements, attachment mediates
friendships, parentinfant bonding, social cordiality, and many
other intimacies as well.
Known as the “cuddle hormone,” that is released in large
quantities during sex, breastfeeding & childbirth.
18. EROGENOUS ZONE
Sexual Diversity
Sex and gender are often thought of as binary categories; that is, we can be either
male or female, or feminine or masculine. However, this is a FALSE assumption.
Although sex can be quantified by DNA and genetic testing, sometimes the results are
difficult to make sense of with regard to their social implications.
19. 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
One's innermost concept of self as male, female, a blend of both or neither – how individuals perceive
themselves and what they call themselves.
One's gender identity can be the same or different from their sex assigned at birth.
Gender identity, in nearly all instances, is selfidentified, as a result of a combination of inherent and
extrinsic or environmental factors
20. 1 Million STI cases everyday worldwide (WHO, 2016)
Estimated 357 M each year are infected by 1 of 4 STIs: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis,
Trichomoniasis (WHO, 2016) Drug resistance is a challenge esp. for Gonorrhea (WHO, 2018)
Poor young females more vulnerable than well-off counterparts (Abrigo, n.a.)
MOST COMMON SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES:
1) Human papillomavirus - causes genital warts, cervical CA.
2) Neisseria gonorrhoeae - causes gonorrhea infection.
3) Chlamydia trachomatis- causes chlamydia infection
4) Treponema pallidum – cases syphilis. If not treated can cause disability, neurological disorder to
death. 5) Human immunodeficiency virus – causative agent of AIDS Note: We can add pictures to show
effects of being infected with the disease.
21. HOW TO AVOID STDs?
1) Abstinence
2) Vaccination
3) Reduce number of sex partners
4) Mutual monogamy
5) Condoms (CDC, 2016)
