Answer in Brief
Advertisements

Solution

  1. Gender diversity is linked to the notion of ‘gender’. Gender includes diversities that go beyond gender binaries of femalemale, feminine-masculine, her-his etc.
  2. The understanding of gender diversity includes the sexual orientation of people.
  3. There is dominance of ‘heteronormativity’ in society and all social institutions. But some societies have challenged the notion of binary and are more inclusive of sexual and gender pluralities.
  4. Gender expression is linked to gender socialisation and leads to diversity. Most people are forced to follow the expectations of a gender linked to one’s sex. However, now societies are gradually opening up to accept gender fluidity.
  5. There was decriminalisation of homosexuality in India by a historic judgement of the Supreme Court on 6 th September 2018.
  6. Indian Government has also recognised transgender people and their rights.
  7. Awareness about and sensitivity to gender diversities is beneficial to the society in many ways.
