| − | '''Sexual Orientation '''refers to what [[gender]](s) or [[sex]](es) a person can become attracted to. The term is usually used to encompass multiple forms of attraction but in some cases refers purely to sexual attraction wherein a person's orientation is split into two parts: romantic orientation and sexual orientation. This is especially useful for people who experience a difference in these two aspects of attraction (something common with asexuals in particular). |

| − | Before the reclamation of 'cissexual' in the english language, most labels for sexual orientation relied on a [[binary gender|binary]] understanding of gender, which created problems for those who are [[nonbinary]] or [[questioning]]. The reclaimation of the term "cissexual" largely erased this problem, as it is able to describe whether or not one's sexuality falls within the assigned-at-birth gender binary. |
