Blindness refers to a spectrum of vision loss. A person’s experience of blindness can range from sight loss which interferes with your daily activities to total blindness. Total blindness does not mean that the person sees nothing at all, some people still see changes in light or a haze. Someone who is partially sighted has partial vision in one or both eyes. It is common for a blind person to identify with the Disability community as they do not identify as having their own unique culture and language, but not every blind person will connect with that label.

Gender
Society views gender as the societal expectations (gender roles) put on a person based on the way their body is perceived (either masculine or feminine). Some cultures recognize a third gender identity outside of the binary of feminine or masculine. A person’s gender may fall anywhere along this spectrum or may be completely outside it. Where you situate yourself may change or evolve from day to day or over your lifetime. Gender includes the ways you understand your physical body, the way you experience your inner thoughts, and the ways you express yourself to the outside world. Gender is how we experience ourselves.
