“Biological Sex refers to anatomy and physiology. This includes sex chromosomes, sex hormones, sex organs, and external genitalia”. Sex and gender are not the same thing. The sex of an individual is mostly identified based on the appearance of one’s external genitalia. And even with regards to this, one can change the appearance or have their external genitalia changed based on their preference. They can also have changes in hormones due to medications received. The biological sex of humans is said to be universal, meaning in every part of the world you go to, a similar sex experiences the same puberty changes and/ or development. Nonetheless, the manner in which that individual decides to carry him or herself socially and decides to appear is what will be termed as gender. Although a person may be a female, that person’s gender may not be the same. In our society, an individual is expected to be a female if their biological sex is that of a female, and a male if his biological sex is that of a male. From birth, a child’s gender is already decided and categorized because of our own established traditions and virtues. Females are often associated with flowers, and pink colored stuff and fragility/ weakness, being emotional and submissive. On the other hand, boys are associated with being loud, rough, dirty, rude, and aggressive. It is in no way acceptable if a boy is quiet. It is even worse when he is an emotional person. People criticize little boys for crying, you will hear things like “don’t be a girl”, “don’t be a sissy”. That is also how females who showcase masculinity are also bashed. “You will not find a man to like you or even marry you if you are hardheaded”. This is what has been normalized in society.
