What is Sex versus Gender?

What is Sex? What is Gender?

Sex is a biological concept: at birth, a person’s physical, biological and bodily characteristics determine his or her sex: female or male

Gender is expressed as the social relations between men and women which are based on culturally acquired values and norms associated with femininity and masculinity.
