Young people -- in particular -- are understanding that gender and sexuality is complex, unfortunately, at the same time, state governments are limiting the rights and expressions of these identities. At a time in which youth are finally finding words to describe who they really are, politicians are limiting the rights of youth and their parents who just want to be happy and healthy.

This study is a much needed advance in our understanding of the growing diversity of sexual and gender identities, the ideas that these terms represent are not new ; that is, the idea that someone could be attracted to multiple genders is not new within the past decade. However, we finally have terminology that can represent these complex realities.
