Sex and Gender

Sex refers to biological differences between males and females, such as anatomy, chromosomes, and reproductive systems. Gender, on the other hand, pertains to the roles, behaviors, identities, and cultural expectations that society associates with being male, female, or other identities. While sex is related to biology, gender is a social and psychological concept influenced by personal identity and cultural norms. People may identify differently from the sex they were assigned at birth, highlighting the distinction between biological sex and gender identity. Both are important aspects of understanding human diversity.
