Are there really only two genders?
There are only two genders. Not three. Not four. Not the whole list I constantly see on social media. Biologically and scientifically speaking, there are only two genders. This anatomical, biological, scientific fact is not up for debate.
Is there more to being male or female than the sex?
There’s a lot more to being male, female, or any gender than the sex assigned at birth. Your biological or assigned sex does not always tell your complete story. What are the differences between sex, gender, and gender identity? It’s common for people to confuse sex, gender, and gender identity. But they’re actually all different things.
Why do I get confused about gender so much?
Thinking about gender gets confused by the lack of clear terminology. We need a word for whether a person is biologically a boy or a girl; I like the word sex for that. We need a word for behaviors that get labelled masculine or feminine or typically boyish or girlish, and I like the word gender for that.
What is the difference between sex and gender identity?
It’s common for people to confuse sex, gender, and gender identity. But they’re actually all different things. Sex is a label — male or female — that you’re assigned by a doctor at birth based on the genitals you’re born with and the chromosomes you have. It goes on your birth certificate.

What is the difference between gender and transgender?
Gender is a state, meaning not having to do with biology. But if one’s identified gender isn’t the same as their given sex, that doesn’t make them transgender. Also if a male or female acts more feminine or masculine, that also doesn’t make them transgender or automatically change their gender.
What does gender mean to you?
Honestly, gender is all about a state of where someone is comfortable or feels most like themselves. Some people don’t like gender specific pronouns. Some people prefer classifying themselves as a nonbinary gender. So the thing is, many people have many different opinions.
