Classification by gender is not in and on itself unconstitutional. However, laws that treat men and women differently will be overturned by the courts unless they are intended to serve an "important governmental objective," and are "substantially related" to achieving that goal.

What is the difference between gender and sex?

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.
