These feelings that are the result of involuntary chemical responses in the brain that are beyond your control.

Gender identity describes how a person internally perceives their gender, or sense of gender that forms as people mature.
Gender identity may or may not match a person's sex assigned at birth.

“Mateship has no boundaries of gender or sexual orientation, mateship is about bonds of community. It’s about that inclusive culture that’s so important to us – the practice of inclusiveness, and strong and supporting relationships."

"The team that has a diversity of skills, talents, intellect and outlook, makes it far more capable, far better to function across a wider array of situations, and therefore tasks. It sees more. It analyzes far better, its toolbox is much bigger. And our team, the military team; encourages, amplifies and ultimately judges itself against one criteria, and that is: Its performance as a team."
