Sex vs Gender

Sex vs. Gender: Understanding the Difference

While the terms are often used interchangeably, a person’s sex and a person’s gender are two entirely different aspects of their identity. Someone’s sex refers to their biological characteristics, such as their reproductive organs that they are born with. Alternatively, gender encapsulates the social, behavioral, and cultural factors of someone’s sexual identity.
