      Your gender is the social definition of women and men – it’s not the same as sex which is refers to the biological characteristics of men and women. These two things can be different 🙂
      I’m female, I was born female and I use she/her pronouns.

      Male, as Heidi said your gender is how you define yourself socially whereas your sex is determined by your biology and your genetic structure. In the animal kingdom biological sex can be a fascinating topic as animals can be both male and female or change sex depending on their age or surroundings.
