In the reading “Sex & Gender” indicates that in most cases society defines someone’s biological gender based on the appearance of their external genitalia. External genitalia is the male’s or female’s reproductive organs. There are medications that a person can take to change their hormonal chemistry or suppress puberty. Hormonal chemistry are hormones are  chemical substances that act like messenger molecules in the body. After being made in one part of the body, they travel to other parts of the body where they help control how cells and organs do their work. Now when it comes to men and women there’s a difference. Men have XY chromosomes and that develops to the male sex hormones, the testosterone, and male reproductive organs like the testes and penis. Puberty for men develops secondary sex characteristics such as facial, pubic and body hair and a deeper voice. For us females we have XX chromosomes, this develops the female sex hormones for example estrogen, and female reproductive organs like the ovaries, uterus, and vagina. Puberty for women is a bit similar to puberty for men, we have secondary sex characteristics such as breast development, pubic and body hair and wider hips. People have one mentally about gender, but “Gender refers to the social and cultural roles that males and females are expected to subscribe to based on their biological sex”. Gender identity only use to be two she or he but now we’ve became more opened minded , if someone identifies themselves as not in line they can go by transgender or gender non-conforming. When I was reading Raising Them informs on how gender is defined and how many people identify themselves. How they are put in groups as soon as they are born, boys play with cars and girls play with barbies. Society makes people be categorize each other. When I was reading “Feminism for Everybody passionate politics” in chapter 1 the author goes into how people are sexist and are not aware that they are. Many people agree with the idea of gender equity in the workplace equal pay for equal work.
