Chapter 10- Gender Vs. Sex

Sex is biologically how we are born; it has to do with the chromosomes and the body parts. Gender, however, is much more complicated. Gender consists of whatever behaviors ad attitudes a group considers proper for its males and females. Gender is not determined by biology; it is determined by the gender identity in which the person decides which gender they relate with. To represent this, I included a picture of an “It’s a Girl!!” announcement off a baby shower invite, which is how babies are greeted into this world. Although it physically may be a girl, that girl may grow up someday and relate with male traits and feelings. “It’s a Girl!! Or is it!” is a more accurate saying.
