Sex = male and female
Gender = masculine and feminine
So in essence:
Sex refers to biological differences; chromosomes, hormonal profiles, internal and external sex organs.
Gender describes the characteristics that a society or culture delineates as masculine or feminine.
So while your sex as male or female is a biological fact that is the same in any culture, what that sex means in terms of your gender role as a 'man' or a 'woman' in society can be quite different cross culturally. These 'gender roles' have an impact on the health of the individual.
In sociological terms 'gender role' refers to the characteristics and behaviours that different cultures attribute to the sexes. What it means to be a 'real man' in any culture requires male sex plus what our various cultures define as masculine characteristics and behaviours, likewise a 'real woman' needs female sex and feminine characteristics.
Co-signYou dudes are so unbelievably ignorant, cynical, judgmental and fickle dudes. Feel bad for you cats man.watch the two hour interview which I can guarantee most of you haven't, and it will open your eyes on the transgender community. What Bruce did was shine a light on a part of society a lot of us don't understand. This message and his story will undoubtedly save lives. So until you have actually watched this, your opinion is irrelevant. It opened my eyes up and completely changed my opinion and views on him personally. The story and interview were both very compelling.
Technically he is not gay; you are confusing Gender identification with sexual preference, which are two different things.
Technically he is gay, if he is attracted to women.
XX ChromosoneWhat do you consider a real woman? A vagina? Boobs? Uterus?
When people say that so and so is pushing an Agenda, what they are really saying is; "I am completely ignorant and uncomfortable with this topic. I have absolutely nothing constructive to add to the conversation."This country is pushing agendas so hard it's ridiculous..
Gotta love close minds, the cancer of humanity.You guys have your opinion and I have mine and there is absolutely no budging my sentiments on this issue.
thanks man. i respect thatNah I actually understand your point and opinion and I respect it because you're not trying to be offensive about it.
Just to be clear Bruce Jenner is biologically a male and will always be. He isn't seeking to be a female, he has never said he is a female. He is seeking to be a woman and to be perceived as a woman.
Female = Biology
Woman = Society's perception
Can Bruce Jenner be a female? No he can not, can he be a woman? Yes he can.
I see where you're coming from. But our consciousness is the most valuable part of us and it's what makes a person distinctively themselves. So in my opinion consciousness>bodily form.I dont have nothing against surgery. I do have a issue with the, claiming to be something aint.
How would you feel if somebody called their Chrysller 300 a Bentley?

Yeah; I guess it is funny to stand for equality and tolerance amongst all human beings. I see how that could be funny to a certain group of people here.Its funny what some of you ****** choose to stand on the front lines for.
exactly, crazy how equality and fairness only works for a certain group of people but not all. As a community we have to do better.

Exactly! A lot of hypocrites on this board too.
It's not funny, what I've learned over the years is that people only care about their own. You could have someone picketing for police violence against blacks one week, while attending a church that denies gay marriage. It's funny when it isn't you. People are being oversensitive these days when it isn't you. Hypocrites.
i see some people in here are still confusing sexual orientation with gender identity.. you can be a transgender person & attracted to whomever you please, gender is of the mind, sexual orientation is a matter of the heart [as far as your attraction to whomever] & your biological sex can be male, female or even intersexed. also i wouldn't consider a man that is attracted to a transgender woman as a homosexual, but that's another story for another day, some of you are saying he's not a "real'' woman because he's not attracted to men, so what about lesbians, the moral is there are more grey areas when dealing with these topics than people discuss, and we need equality for all.
i applaud bruce for his journey, but more importantly i applaud him for speaking out on the violence & murder of so many transgender women of color, that's the part that surprised me the most, i don't want to be in a world where children would rather commit suicide than live their truth because of what other people think of them or how they are treated, it has to end. you might not agree with it or understand it, but you don't need to disrespect someone for living in their truth.
It's been pointed out in this thread multiple times, gender identity and sexuality are two different things.I'm watching the news and they said dude believes he is a women but he is sexually attracted to women. I'm so confused.
[h3]Sexual orientation[/h3]
He's still X,Y...and just because you say gender identity and sexuality are two different things doesn't mean they actually are.
