Sex


There are two meanings of the word 'sex' - the activity of sexual interaction; and the biological sex of a person.


Sexual interaction


Biological sex (XX or XY)

 

Sex is your biological sex (according to chromosomes and secondary sexual characteristics); gender is the role that you perform in a social context.

 

Judith Butler has pointed out that sex is just as socially constructed as gender.
