The article sex and gender was pretty interesting its a topic that is being talked about a lot at this time. It reminds me of some TikToks that i saw of a young lady showing that she is gender fluid. Which people always think someone’s gender is connected to their sexuality. which i also thought so too. But i realize someone choice of gender does always relate to their sexual orientation (sexuality).

Hello Naftrara, I was excited when I saw the video you posted. They are one of my favorites on TikTokers that really mention topics like this and that is very good. Gender is more of a specification and biological and sex is physiology traits. What I read in the article Sex & Gender was a child with a specific gender will not always act like how society wants. For instance, people say boys must be tough and not cry. Which I think is very wrong to say and when a boy grows up and does not act like that, no one is to blame. The whole situation about “this being for girls and that for boys” brings people down, because a girl for example could have so much talent for soccer but her parents can say “no, that sport is for only boys” and just like that she has missed an opportunity. It also happens when people get the idea that women are not as strong as males just because of the gender identification. It affects a lot of women when they are trying to get jobs. They get the easiest one, when they get they are discriminated or they don’t get at all. Before a person is born, they are already Identified because of our gender, and we must live with it. It is like a girl is born today and, on her forehead, it is written, “fragile” “soft” “crybaby” and for a boy “tough” “boys don’t cry”.
Not everything that are considered as roles is correct, people follow rules because others are doing it. They put too much pressure on a gender and expect them to act a certain way just because they are identified that way. There are also people who do not feel like any gender, it can switch at any day, they could feel feminine today and masculine tomorrow. There are also intersex children that are born and it is possible to not know till years later. Intersex children are usually born with two reproductive organs. When this happens they are most likely identified a gender by how they look.
We have one pair of sex chromosomes which are XX chromosomes female and people with XY chromosomes are male. They are DNA found in the nucleus of the cell.
Great choice to share. You don’t necessarily need to include the text. You can just share the TikTok.
