There are a lot of ways to describe sexuality and gender. Many of these are captured by the terms LGBTIQA+, but these can mean different things to different people.
This is why finding the words to describe ourselves and others can be helpful.
Remember: The way you describe your sexuality and gender, and who you share it with, is totally up to you.
For many young people, it can be a really challenging experience figuring out who you are. This can mean exploring your gender identity and sexuality, which can lead to and uncomfortable feelings.
