Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gender refers to the cultural or social attributes of being male or female, which includes the roles, expectations, behaviors, and attitudes that society considers appropriate for men and women. It is different than sex, which refers to the biological characteristics of being male or female. Gender is also different from one's sexual orientation, which refers to the gender to which a person is attracted. The categories that boys and girls are sorted into at birth (male or female) are based on biological sex, not gender.
