1.Sexuality, sexual orientation, and biological sex are separate but frequently misunderstood concepts. The physical and physiological traits that distinguish male and female bodies are referred to as biological sex. The existence of sex chromosomes, hormones, and reproductive organs determines it.  An individual's sexual preferences, desires, and behaviors are all included under the general term of sexuality. It encompasses romantic attraction, emotional closeness, and sexual expression in addition to sexual attraction Conversely, a person's persistent pattern of romantic, emotional, and/or sexual attraction to either men or women, both genders, or neither gender is referred to as their sexual orientation.

2.Society teaches people how to express their sexuality. Therefore, sexual expression is a part of socialization, which is the continuous process of acquiring and spreading beliefs, norms, and practices in order to equip a person with the knowledge and routines required to engage with their own society. The instillation of norms behaviors that society views as desirable rather than as aberrant is a necessary component of socialization.

2. Sexuality can be a product of socialization. Movies, tv shows, music, books, all different outlets of media but usually all have one thing common, heteronormativity. If all we see is that man and woman is all there is, then we believe there is nothing else.

Biological sex is a label that you are basically assigned at birth. It involves the features of hormones, chromosomes and genitals. Sexuality mainly involves your sexual feelings, thoughts, attractions, and certain behaviors towards other people. Sexual orientation is the emotional, romantic, or sexual attraction that one person feels towards another. They are distinct because they all have different meanings. Some of these are related because they all start to define who you are as a person.

connects to what we grow up to when your born as a girl you are identified as a girl.

Sexual orientation is a type of romanic and emotions attraction.it's when one person has a feeling towards another person.

They connect because all of this is what defines a persons identity it also shows who people feel attracted to with what ever gender.

Biological sex is a label that was given to you at birth based on medical factors. Sexuality is based upon your sexual, emotional and physical feelings towards another individual. Sexual orientation is romantic and emotional feelings one feels towards another person. These terms are distinct because all of these words mean different things and they are related in a way because this is what describes an individual as to who they really are. It defines them.

The difference between biological sex, sexuality, and sexual orientation is biological sex has to do with the physical traits and individual characteristics that define the female and male bodies. Sexuality has to do with individual sexual feelings (who they feel attracted to). Lastly, Sexual orientation has to do with the gender someone is interested in. Bioloicial sex, sexuality, and sexual orientation are different by biology sex focuses on physical characteristics, sexuality focuses on sexual preference by attractions and sometimes desires, and sexual orientation focuses on which gender attracts another. Biological sex, sexuality, and sexual orientation are related by all three terms defines when one person likes or finds another person attractive.

2. Sexuality can be a product of socialization because of what we are exposed to. Society, especially in the early 2000s was not as accepting of people of other sexual orientations so it was not as relevant of a topic, therefore heteronormativity was the norm. The media back then also rarely contained content about other sexualities so the product of that period would be whatever society was putting out.

2. Sexuality can be a product of socialization because the people tell us that to be a man is to be strong and to be a woman is to be weak and that men don't cry. They teach us to recognize ourselves as " normal" if our choices are heterosexual and abnormal if it is not and we come to be classified as rare, sick or sinners.

Sexuality can be a product of socialization because as people live their lives they encounter people who question or give their opinions of that person's sexuality which tend to affect or change that person's view or belief on their sexuality. In short opinions and thoughts of others can affects one sexuality.

2. Sexuality can be a product of socialization by portraying a certain type of sexual orientation as either morally wrong or good. TV shows could show how a person's sexuality as not straight as someone who is weird compared to straight people. They can also write about people with different sexualities inaccurately. They could misinform the audience about sexualities and how non-straight people live their lives.

2. I think that sexuality is itself a private identity for an individual and it should not matter whether or not if they're straight, gay, etc. Sexuality now more than ever is on a broad spectrum which is crucial to keep in mind. Socialization itself is something natural just like sexuality but it is always brought up into conversations. Assumptions are often made by people in our society based off the look of someone and whether they look gay or not (example).

Sexuality is a product of socialization because society influences the very definition of sexuality. For example, religion is a major agency within socialization and my religion explains to me that sexuality is not something that needs to be explained. It is something that we are aware of from the beginning of our acknowledgment of our religion. We know how a women should act and how a man should act, and when these things are not as followed, we are rectified. Therefore, sexuality is product, or to make it even more transparent, creation of society due to its influence.
