GEN'DER, noun Latin genus, from geno, gigno; Gr.to beget, or to be born; Eng. kind. Gr. a woman, a wife; Sans. gena, a wife, and genaga, a father. We have begin from the same root. See Begin and Can.
1. Properly, kind; sort.
2. A sex, male or female. Hence,
3. In grammar, a difference in words to express distinction of sex; usually a difference of termination in nouns, adjectives and participles, to express the distinction of male and female. But although this was the original design of different terminations, yet in the progress of language, other words having no relation to one sex or the other, came to have genders assigned them by custom. Words expressing males are said to be of the masculine gender; those expressing females, of the feminine gender; and in some languages, words expressing things having no sex, are of the neuter or neither gender

gender actually refer to sexual identity. It is one of the ways to determine the sex, if you consider yourself man/woman
It is a gender experience, an accepted gender identity could be "I consider myself a woman, seen as a woman, I am a woman"
Sex does not always remain in the expected state, that is why there are disorders of sexual development that are not anomalies. The mechanism of sexual differentiation (masculinization/feminization) of the body in human formation is extremely complicated and goes through many stages. In fetal sexual differentiation, after determining the sex of the gonads, internal genitalia, and external genitalia, the central nervous system of the brain also undergoes sexual differentiation, resulting in structural sex differences in the brain. When this sex difference occurs in the brain, the brain generally matches the physical sex.
Being transgender is:the sexual differentiation of the brain into genders that do not coincide with physical sex
it is not homogeneous, and there are culture in which there are other gender identities, but that does not mean that it is a social construction. The problem is this:evolution thinking does not believe that identity is uniform in all cultures, but that the machinery that produces it will be uniform in all cultures. This is a very different statement. That is why there may be more genders.
And sex is not binary (DSD) either, although it wasn't binary anymore, because gender isn't. gender is authentic.
example:
(A) People tend to be independent of their gender.
(B) maybe you were wrong, maybe you mean gender
(C) If you are of one sex and consider y
ourself of another, it is valid, but the word does not change
Two example:
(A) there are only 2 genders, you are a man because you have a penis
(B) men and women will always exist, and there are times when there are women with a penis and men with a vagina

not a social construct. biologically what your human genitalia classifies you as, either male or female.

often confused with sex: gender is used typically with reference to social or cultural differences rather than biological ones.

A wider spectrum of sexes referring as Male or Female, but instead more, an example of genderqueer, genderfluid, non-binary, etc.
That persons pronouns are they/them because their gender is non-binary

Gender is what you would want to be identified as. Sex is what your genitalia is.
Yes, my SEX is female but my GENDER is genderfluid.
