The term gender is ambiguous. Some use gender to be a synonym for the word sex. Your physical gender, or sex, is what reproductive parts you have.

Gender Identity is the inborn sense of who you are.

Gender Role is the socially constructed roles and responsibilities that are assigned to a male or female by parents, peers, teachers, community.

There is a hell of difference between gender and a sex.

  • Sex is natural, Gender is socially constructed roles & responsibilities
  • Sex cannot be changed, Gender can be change
  • Sex is physical change, Gender is social change

Examples:

It is socially constructed that, it is the duty of female to clean home, cook meals etc, a man can do these things too. So one can change his/her gender role.
