Gender and Sexuality:

Sexulaity is refers to bilological differnces, chromosomes, hormonal profiles, internal and external organs.
It is either of two major forms of individuals that occur in many species and that are distinguished
respctively as female or male. Biological maleness or femaleness, males have XY chromosomes, females
have XX chromosomes. Sex is determined the instant a woman’s gg is fertlized by a man’s sperm. If an X
sperm fertilizes a X egg, the fetus will be female. If a Y sperm fertilizes the X egg, the fetus will be male.

Gender on the othr hand, describes the characteristics that a society or a culture deaneates as masculine
or femiinine. It is the individuals inner psychological sense of being a male or female irrespective of ones
biological ientity as determined by one’s sexual organs.

So while your sex male or female is a biological fact that is the same in any culture, what that sex means
in terms of your gender role as a “man” or a “woman” in society can be quite different cross culturally
these ‘gender roles’ have variatios impact on the individual.

In sociologist terms ‘gender role’ refrs to the chracteristics and behaviors that different cultures attribute to
the sexes. What it means to be a ‘real man’ in any culture requires male sex pus what our various
cultures define as masculin characteristics and behaviors, likewise a ‘real woman’ needs female sex and
feminine characteristics.
