If sex and gender are two different things, can you define gender without referring to sex? Honest question
well written ☞ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex%E2%80%93gender_distinction
This article refers to sex throughout its entirety; the ask was for a definition of gender without reference to sex
I'm not very interested in these questions, but my understanding is that gender refers to a role in society, while sex is more qbout biology.
