This video, created by UM Pride, explains the difference between sex and gender, why this difference matters and how to incorporate this into research.
"Gender identity can be very personal, and everyone can have their own interpretation of their gender identity."

Inclusive language
Our world is always evolving, and so are languages and language use. With new knowledge and inclusion of marginalised groups, our language use adapts. UM embraces language use that addresses everyone in general communication and that addresses individuals in a way that makes them feel seen and respected.
