Crystal Cordero Reflection 1

I thought Sex and Gender 101 was highly educational since it helped me understand the distinctions between sex and gender. The difference between the two terms has long baffled me. I definitely have a better idea now that I’ve studied Sex and Gender 101. I learned that there are three different kinds of genders: gender assignment, gender identity, and gender expression. I started to wonder which type I am. I think I go under the category of gender expression, where I show my gender by the things I wear, the makeup I wear, or even the way I style my hair, yet a part of me is okay with the fact that I was assigned a female gender. While defining sex from a scientific standpoint. What I mean by a more scientific perspective is that it explains the XY chromosome, which implies you’ll be assigned a male, as well as the XX chromosome, which indicates you’ll be assigned a girl. So I understand that sex and gender are two distinct concepts. I am happy that I learned the meaning of these terms because I am now able to share this information with friends and family.
