Gender Roles refers to what's commonly expected of Males & Females in the society in which they live in (Gender Roles strongly reflect culture & are different in different countries) For example: female gender roles in the U.S. could be to cook, clean, take care of the children, to be caring, nurturing, & social. What's expected of males in the U.S. as far as gender roles go is much different. They're usually expected to successfully work, and earn money to support their families, to be heads of their households, as well as to being physically strong, a leader, and enforce discipline.

Sex is the actual genitalia you are born with, and that classifies you as male or female. Gender may be more your internal identity and the role you play in life. Many use the terms interchangeably. Some may use the term gender to avoid the confusion that occurs between using the word sex to mean body parts and using it to mean sexual intercourse. Persons with transsexualism use the word sex to refer to the body, and gender to refer to who they are. The term gender as they use it can further be split into gender identity and gender role (or gender expression). Gender identity would be what you feel like inside, who you are, and what natural interests you would have. Gender role is all the little rules and culture related to gender which comes from society. This distinction helps to settle a seeming contradiction between feminists and persons with transsexualism. Feminists say gender (role) is not destiny, while persons with transsexualism say that gender (identity) is destiny. So the feeling of who you are might be inborn, but how you live in society in regards to your gender is certainly not inborn.
