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!
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.

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
