Abstract in brief

  • The article critiques traditional sexual orientation as it mainly focuses on biological sex and attraction, neglecting gender-related, nonbiological, or social factors, and proposes Sexual Configurations Theory (SCT) as a more inclusive framework to understand diverse partnered sexualities.
  • SCT emphasizes parameters like gender, sex, partner number, and individual gender-sex identity, offering models to better account for the complexity of sexual identities and experiences beyond conventional labels.
  • The theory aims to improve health, counseling, self-knowledge, and social understanding by integrating biology and culture, fostering feminist and queer empowerment, and serving as a foundational approach for future sexuality research and social change.]

@LindaSkitka I might use women/men in this case myself, but @SarivanAnders's piece on gender vs. sex (and why she uses the term "gender/sex") here (https://t.co/XmZfy58DWv) seems useful. tl;dr: from the data that you have, you are not in a position to disentangle the two. https://t.co/Zw8U9aflrP

@SarivanAnders published a paper on Sexual Configurations Theory, which attempts (very nicely) to summarise sex & gender in a 3D space
