What’s the Difference between Sex and Gender?
The terms “sex” and “gender” are often used interchangeably despite clear and distinct definitions.
- Sex refers to biological constructs that are primarily associated with physical and physiological features, including hormones, genes, anatomy, and physiology, and is typically categorized as female or male.
- Gender refers to socially constructed roles, behaviours, expressions, and identities, and, in comparison, is typically categorized as woman/girl or man/boy.
As much as possible, the Summit will attempt to adhere to these definitions in its materials and communications; however, it is possible that some of the material presented will use the terms incorrectly or interchangeably.
