Nature and Gender

Nature refers to the natural world and the biological aspects of living beings, including physical characteristics and species differences. Gender relates to the social and cultural roles, behaviors, and identities that a society considers appropriate for men, women, and other genders. While biological sex is assigned based on physical traits, gender is more about personal identity, societal expectations, and cultural norms. Both interplay to shape individual experiences, but they are distinct; biology doesn’t solely determine someone’s gender identity or expression.
