The identity of a specific person. There are cisgender people, those who were assigned male or female at birth and identify with the sex assigned to them. Cisgender males us the pronouns He/Him, whereas cisgender females use the pronouns She/Her. ie: An afab person who identifies as female. There are also those who fall under the transgender umbrella, which is nonbinary, MtF, FtM, bigender, agender, genderfluid, etc. Transgender people don't identify with the sex given to them at birth. ie: A amab person who identifies as female. Transgender may use She/Her, He/Him, They/Them, or multiple pronouns.
Person A: You're a girl, right?
Person B: No, actually my gender is male.
Person A: Ah, my mistake. Sorry about that!

Gender can mean two different things.

1. Biological gender. This refers to your biological sex, such as female or male. Some are intersex, which means that their bodies can't quite be completely categorized as male or female.

2. Gender identity. This refers to one's own self image regarding gender based on the social structures of society and sometimes body dysphoria (the state of being significantly uncomfortable with your biological gender, not to be confused with body dysmorphia). Gender identity can be male, female, bigender, non-binary, et cetera. For some people their gender identity can align with their biological gender at birth, and for some others it might not. The view on gender varies between different societies and cultures.
"Tomatoes are actually fruits biologically, but we call them vegetables anyway because they fit more like it. It is kind of similar to how we use gender identity. If it doesn't feel like it fits, we'll call it by something more fitting."

"We found out the baby's gender today. Guess what? It'll be a beautiful baby boy!"

"I revealed my gender to my mom a couple of days ago. I explained how I felt and she hugged me tightly afterwards. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders!"

"The gym teacher split us into two different groups after our gender: boys were to stand to the left, and girls to the right."

There are 2 genders, plus the lack of having one. Male, Female, and Non Binary/ Agender are the genders that most people identify with.
I don't know what their gender is, but they're hot.

Gender
GEN'DER, noun Latin genus, from geno, gigno; Gr.to beget, or to be born; Eng. kind. Gr. a woman, a wife; Sans. gena, a wife, and genaga, a father. We have begin from the same root. See Begin and Can.

1. Properly, kind; sort.

2. A sex, male or female. Hence,

3. In grammar, a difference in words to express distinction of sex; usually a difference of termination in nouns, adjectives and participles, to express the distinction of male and female. But although this was the original design of different terminations, yet in the progress of language, other words having no relation to one sex or the other, came to have genders assigned them by custom. Words expressing males are said to be of the masculine gender; those expressing females, of the feminine gender; and in some languages, words expressing things having no sex, are of the neuter or neither gender

gender actually refer to sexual identity. It is one of the ways to determine the sex, if you consider yourself man/woman

It is a gender experience, an accepted gender identity could be "I consider myself a woman, seen as a woman, I am a woman"

Sex does not always remain in the expected state, that is why there are disorders of sexual development that are not anomalies. The mechanism of sexual differentiation (masculinization/feminization) of the body in human formation is extremely complicated and goes through many stages. In fetal sexual differentiation, after determining the sex of the gonads, internal genitalia, and external genitalia, the central nervous system of the brain also undergoes sexual differentiation, resulting in structural sex differences in the brain. When this sex difference occurs in the brain, the brain generally matches the physical sex.

Being transgender is:the sexual differentiation of the brain into genders that do not coincide with physical sex

it is not homogeneous, and there are culture in which there are other gender identities, but that does not mean that it is a social construction. The problem is this:evolution thinking does not believe that identity is uniform in all cultures, but that the machinery that produces it will be uniform in all cultures. This is a very different statement. That is why there may be more genders.

And sex is not binary (DSD) either, although it wasn't binary anymore, because gender isn't. gender is authentic.
example:

(A) People tend to be independent of their gender.

(B) maybe you were wrong, maybe you mean gender

(C) If you are of one sex and consider y
ourself of another, it is valid, but the word does not change

Two example:

(A) there are only 2 genders, you are a man because you have a penis

(B) men and women will always exist, and there are times when there are women with a penis and men with a vagina
