Sex and gender distinction
The
distinction between sex and gender
differentiates
sex
(the anatomy of an individual's
reproductive system
, and
secondary sex characteristics
) from
gender
, which can refer to either social roles based on the sex of the person (
gender role
) or personal identification of one's own gender based on an internal awareness (
gender identity
). In some circumstances, an individual's
assigned sex
and gender do not align, and the person may be
transgender
,
gender-nonconforming
,
non-binary
, or
intersex
.
