How one defines themselves with clothes, pronouns, how they carry themselves, etc (i.e. male, female, androgynous, etc). Different from sex- ex: a person may be born female (sex) but identify as male (gender), though for many, sex and gender are synonymous.
"I prefer female pronouns such as 'she' and 'her', because female is my gender." Or "My gender is androgynous, though my sex is male."

Get the gender mug.A property of nouns and pronouns.
A noun can have one of three genders, masculine, feminine, and neuter. Gender is never male or female; that is sex.
The gender of a noun may have little or no relation to the sex of its bearer. For example, in German, the word for dog is der Hund, which has masculine gender. A dog may be male or female, but the word for dog has masculine gender.
Radical feminists, effeminate men, and extremely ignorant people use the word to mean sex. They also ignorantly believe that the pronoun HE, when used to refer to someone of unknown sex, is offensive. Instead, they ignorantly and incorrectly use the word THEY to refer to a single person of unknown sex. Notice that French, German, Spanish, and other people have no trouble at all distinguishing sex and gender. A German is never offended by the word ER used to refer to someone of unknown sex, even though ER also means HE. That's because Germans are intelligent enough to know the difference between gender and sex, and that gender may have little to do with sex.
Even well-meaning organizations ask for you gender on applications now, but only out of ignorance. They surely want to know if you are male or female, not whether you enjoy eating butt or prancing on floats in parades.

A set of social roles that have developed over a long period of time and have allowed mankind to prosper into a society that treats people equally. While equality isn't perfect gender roles have no rationally explainable play in it's obstruction.
Gender roles, simply said are nature's most practical answer to efficient sharing of the work load.
Nature doesn't care about feelings, it doesn't care about what you think is right or wrong.
It only cares for survival, evolution and prosperity.
However, since men love women they have allowed and helped them to abolish gender roles to a certain degree and certain countries. This has drastically increased the rate of suicide, depression and other mental impairments.
The vast majority of people, without gender roles, are not happy. Some selected individuals stand to benefit from it, that are happy with it.
The moment a goverment can not support this artifical gender-neutral environment anymore and people are on their own, gender roles will be back in full force and people will be happy about it.
Just because people have different responsibilities, different things they are better at than others doesn't mean that they are less important.
