What is gender?

Gender comprises a range of differences between men and women gender refers to characteristics ( dainty, soft, passive, strong, aggressive, etc) that one associates with a particular sex (female or male). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender

Or if your sex is female and you are competitive and love to do “male” things (fishing, playing sports, etc) that does not mean that you are gay. There are some people who have almost equal amounts of both traits (feminine and masculine). This is a concept referred to as androgyny or as being androgynous.

Androgyny is a term derived from two Greek words Androgyny is a term derived from two Greek words. One meaning man and the other meaning woman. The term can refer to either of two related concepts about gender. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgyny

masculine, feminine or androgynous traits? Do you display more masculine, feminine or androgynous traits? The Bem Androgyny Test is a way of judging how masculine or feminine you are.
