hi, trans boy here with my 2 cents on gender vs sex. i know olivia already summer this up, but i thought i'd add on. the simplest way i'd describe it is sex is your hormones/body and gender is your feelings/identity. for example, i have a female body, my sex is female, but i'm a male (on hormone replacement), therefore i'm a transgender guy. where it gets complicated is gender expression. i, despite being male, dress femininely, so i'm a female bodied, male feeling, female presenting guy :')

What up! Agender person here to help with the differences between gender and sex. Sex is biology based, it's your chromosomal make-up, it could basically be boiled down to what hormones are the more prominent. Gender on the other hand, is a social construct. We made it to be the difference between masc and fem, but it's more of a fluid scale based on how you feel and how you represent. This is why peoples gender and sex sometimes don't line up. Or in my case, why my gender is nonexistent

Hi my loves!! Sorry I haven't been active , I had a bunch of papers due last week & I have midterms this week :/ I have a question for anyone who's willing to help me out! I'm trying to understand the difference between Gender & Sex for my women's and gender studies class I know gender is based on a binary system that differentiates between masculinity & feminity and sex is based on culturally accepted biological attributes. Are there any other significant differences ?? I appreciate any help one could provide me with!!

Alright love, breathe in, breathe out. You're doing okay. You're going to be alright. I am sorry this is happening, I definitely understand how you feel. Have you tried playing some soft music? Or using the 4-7-8 breathing exercise? These might be able to help you get your bearings so you can snatch a bit of sleep. I hope you're proud of yourself for being so strong, even though this is so tough. It feels terrible right now, but keep breathing. You're going to be okay soon. You'll be alright.

I love you so much :( I can’t thank you enough for this 💞 I literally want to cry because you took the time to write out this for me to help me :( thank you omg you’re an angel
