Gender Identity. A person's internal, deeply held sense of their gender. For transgender people, their own internal gender identity does not match the sex they were assigned at birth. Most people have a gender identity of man or woman (or boy or girl). For some people, their gender identity does not fit neatly into one of those two choices (see non-binary and/or genderqueer below.) Unlike gender expression (see below) gender identity is not visible to others.
Sleeper joists are wooden boards installed on top of an existing subfloor that are typically used as support for hardwood flooring. The sleeper joists follow the same arrangement and spacing as the main home joists located under the subfloor.
When insulating basement walls, don't forget the band joist (the piece of wood at the top of the wall that extends around the perimeter and encloses the ends of the floor joists). This two-inch thick piece of wood and the siding covering it are all that separates the interior of the basement from the outdoors.
