Accepted Answer

Categorizing someone as "male" or "female" refers to their biological sex, based on physical and physiological characteristics such as reproductive organs and hormones. Gender identity pertains to a person's internal sense of being male, female, or non-binary, while sexual orientation refers to a person's romantic and sexual attraction to others. Behaviors can vary widely and are not determinative of one's sex or gender.
