What is gender?

Gender is commonly defined in terms of biology and anatomy. Although this may be more accurately called one's sex - male, female, intersex.  One's gender also connotes the societal expectations associated with each sex - male, female, transgender.

What about gender identity?

"Gender identity is how we feel about and express our gender and gender roles — clothing, behavior, and personal appearance. It is a feeling that we have as early as age two or three."
