Gender, Sex and Gender Identity

Gender and Sex can be pretty complicated concepts once we start thinking about them. Not all of us fit neatly into the boxes of “man” or “woman”.
Here are some definitions:

Sex – A person’s biological and physical make-up, defined usually as either ‘male’ or ‘female’ and including indeterminate sex.

Gender – The social, and cultural construction of what it means to be a man or a woman, including roles, expectations and behaviour.

Gender Identity – A person’s internal, deeply felt sense of being male or female (or wherever they find themselves on the gender continuum). A person’s gender identity may or may not correspond with their sex.

Gender Expression – How someone expresses their sense of masculinity and/or femininity externally.
