The way that you choose to identify yourself, usually as a male or female.
For some reason, people keep confusing it with sex, which is determined by your genitalia at birth.
There are some people who feel like they do not feel as if they fit under the two binary genders, known as male and female. These people are called non-binary.
People who’s gender and sex are the same are known as cisgender. People who don’t are known as transgender or non-binary.

Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for its individuals. It is often considered a state of being, a mode of life.
When used to categorize individuals, it can be described as:
- social roles based on two distinct biological sexes (man and woman)
- personal identification based on the reiteration and repetition of the norms through which one is constituted by society and self-awareness (includes feminine, masculine, transgender, non-binary and gender-nonconforming)

1.: John believes in traditional gender roles.
2.: English doesn't officially have a gender-neutral pronoun so many people try making up one and many simply use the singular they.
3.: State your name, age and gender, please.

Not the same thing as sex. Gender is what you identify as despite what you were assigned as birth. Gender is what you are. While female and male are the most common ones, you also have transgender, binary, agender, gender-fluid, and the list goes on. It is important to respect others no matter what you personally believe in.
Many over react when it comes to gender and gender identity on both sides of the 'issue'; however it is important to remember not to force you opinions onto others and do not blow up when someone argues with you. *I am looking and people on both sides*
