Fake account. Drunk form new year's party and I saw a bait post. 5:28 AM for me.
People say gender is different from a person's sex so I'm quite confused.
Probably wrong meme, probably not gonna get any answers.

sex is whats your genes say, gender is what you feel you are
Caliban1972
Gender is how your brain is wired. Sex is how your body is set up (i.e penis or vag and boobs).

Gets more complex when you realize people can be born with both sexes but only identify as one gender
derpstain
gender is psychological. biological is physical.

Gender is the way someone identifies, biological sex is what the person actually is.

The simplest explanation is that Sex is defined by genetic variables (XX,XY,XXY,XYY,X0) whereas gender a social construct.

depends on your culture. In the west we are moving towards accepting that a persons gender is what they identify as, and their sex as what 1

This is literally the best metaphor I've seen for this debate.

From a sociological point of view, sex is male/female (based on genitalia). Gender is masculine/feminine based on personality/social

construct. A male (sex) can have a feminine gender or a masculine gender. A female (sex) can also have masculine or feminine gender. This is

Purely sociological theory. There is also androgynous - both masculine and feminine gender or both male and female genitalia (sex).

Biological sex is what your body is on a genetic. Gender is what your identity is, more or less.
Bonerhitler
Most biological males, identify as a male. Most biological females, identify as female. Sometimes brain chemistry doesn't work out.
Bonerhitler
Sometimes people feel like they're trapped in the wrong body. In more recent years we have started to be more socially open to this.

Dysphoria takes all kinds of forms, not just the well known gender dysphoria shown in trans people.
ThatOneGalFromThatOnePlaceThatYouTotallyKnow
The kicker is that we were open to this in more ancient times, we didn't give a fuck, then we started to, and now we're starting to not.

Biology is, well, biology. Gender is all the stuff that's not inevitable outcome of particular chromosomes but rather social/cultural norms.
Hushing
For example, one can be biologically male but not 'masculine', which should teach us what horseshit gender is and we ought to dump the idea.

Even the most conservative ass can acknowledge "Tomboy" and "mama's boy" - some ppl don't fit the "norm" - it's a spectrum....

ThatOneGalFromThatOnePlaceThatYouTotallyKnow
Yeah like I had a friend in college, who was always a tomboy, and then like halfway through he discovered he was trans and like, we weren't

Shocked in the slightest.
