Perhaps Denise should ignore rude people telling her to ignore others for no good reason... :-)

Ignore the first two posts. SEX : Biologically, are you male or female? GENDER: Culturally and socially, are you female or male? Often times sex and gender is same for many people, but for some it is not the same. You notice doctors ALWAYS ask you for your "SEX", not "GENDER".

Sex = living things are divided into two groups, male and female. Gender = belonging to one of these groups Note: 1. In day to day speach the two are often used to mean each other. 2. Sex also means the act of sexual intercourse. 3. Transgender means someone who has changed from one group to the other

As I mentioned, it's the same meaning but sex is less formal than gender.
