| ==Gender==
| |
| The first thing you need to understand is that "gender" is not the same thing as "sex". They are often used interchangeably, and indeed ''in most people'' they are intercorrelated to a very high degree, but there is a significant portion of the population for which this is not true.

| * '''sex''' (as in the attribute, not the act) is most commonly used to mean the ''physical, genetic, or biological'' male-ness or female-ness of a person.
| |
| * '''gender''' refers to ''all'' attributes which are commonly thought of as "masculine" or "feminine" traits. This technically includes "sex", so you might define "sex" as "one's physical/genetic/biological gender". However, even leaving out "sex", there are many separate aspects to "gender". Again, these aspects are highly correlated in most people -- but not in everyone.
