'''Sexual orientation''' is an unchangeable and involuntary aspect of [[sexuality]] that refers to the [[gender]](s) or [[gender alignment]]s<ref>https://www.psychiatry.org/psychiatrists/diversity/education/transgender-and-gender-nonconforming-patients/definitions-and-pronoun-usage</ref> that an individual feels [[sexual attraction]] towards and how that sexual attraction is experienced.<ref>https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/bias-free-language/sexual-orientation</ref>
Typically, sexual orientation labels are derived using a prefix combined with the suffix "-sexual." [[Bisexual]], [[heterosexual]], and [[demisexual]] are all examples of sexual orientations. Other labels that do not use the "-sexual" suffix, such as [[gay]], [[lesbian]], and [[trixic]], can also be used to describe one's sexuality.
