differences between males and

characteristics of women and men, such as

reason only of her/his membership in the social
group of women or men.
What is Gender?
• Combination of our body parts and chromosomes – and
how we feel about having both.

• There’s a social element, too – will often be treated


differently based on our gender (real or perceived).
Boys and Girls
Someone who’s born with: Someone who’s born with:

•A vulva •A penis
•Ovaries •Testicles
•XX chromosomes •XY chromosomes

…is usually called a “girl” …is usually called a “boy”


For Example…
If someone’s called a boy… If someone’s called a girl…

with?
with?

•What clothes is he given to wear?


•What clothes is she given to wear?

•How is he expected to behave?


•How is she expected to behave?
Inside vs. Outside
• USUALLY, a person’s inner feelings match their body parts

• They see they have a vulva, and think, “I’m female”

OR

• They see they have a penis, and think, “I’m male”


But Not Always…

• For some people, how they feel on the inside doesn’t


match their sexual body parts. Maybe they have a penis
but do not feel they are male.

• The name for this is “transgender” or just “trans.”


Gender Identity vs. Expression

• A person’s gender identity is what they call themselves:


Male, female, transgender, etc.

• It doesn’t matter what other people call them, how they


feel on the inside is what’s most important.
Gender Identity vs. Expression

• A person’s gender expression is how they let people know


the gender they are.

• That can be by the name they use, the clothes they wear,
the pronouns (he, she, they) they use, how they carry
themselves, etc.
All of This is Different From…

“The gender(s) of the
