Na bro they are different , think about it, you can "have sex" with a monkey, but you cant "have gender" with a monkey. Therefore sex and gender are different.

Sex is like your biological gender (what you were born as) gender is like a brain thing that you can choose

Can't tell if low quality bait, but gonna answer nonetheless:

Sex is biological, determines what genitals you have, and what diseases you are more or less at risk for (M or F), gender is something expressed in everyday life, and can differ from sex

>gender is something expressed in everyday life, and can differ from sex

This is some silly new age bullshit invented by sociology departments and other weakass sciences with shit review and standards.

No

This is one explanation I've seen.
>Sex is what's between the legs.
>Gender is which role you take in bed.
>Orientation is who you have sex with.

I personally prefer:
>sex is male or female based on genitals and secondary sexual characteristics.
>gender is masculine or feminine as hard coded in to the reproductive programming of the brain.
>orientation is which sex you wish to attempt to reproduce with.

Actually it is coming from the psychiatrists and doctors working with transgenders.
