It is a prevalent misunderstanding that gender identity and sexual orientation are synonymous. Many people assume that just because someone is transgender, they must also be gay. But in reality this is not the true. The concepts and definitions of sexual orientation and gender identity are constantly developing.Gender and sexuality are not synonymous, and this is a crucial distinction to understand.Gender identification is how you define yourself in respect to your own gender, whereas sexual orientation is how you define yourself in terms of the individuals you love and/or are attracted to. Keeping this view in mind recent research studies are focused on non-pharmacological strategies to delay cognitive decline. The present review aims to understand the terminologies of various complexities related to sexual orientations and gender identities and it also highlight the research evidences that show the causes of such complexities in humans. Various studies showed that biological factors play significant role in such complexities and evidences for environmental and social factors do not hold that much significance.
