Nowadays, gender identity is a huge thing to be expressed and talked about in society. Some people argue that there are 63-plus genders, and others argue there are only two definite genders — but who's right in this argument?

The terms "gender" and "sex" are commonly mistaken for each other and used interchangeably when they are actually two different things.

Many people are unaware of the difference between the two, even people of the LGBT community. So no need to feel bad if you don't know the difference because you're about to learn.

First off, let's talk about the easier topic--sex.

Your sex is your genetic makeup, which includes your chromosomes.

There are only two sexes because your sex cannot be changed.

These are male and female.

Male and female are the only two names for the different sexes, not man and woman because man and woman are genders.

Sex is how you are born.

You either have XY or XX, making you male or female.

Now, gender, on the other hand, is a little trickier to comprehend.

Gender, itself, is a spectrum.

Gender is not your genitalia, it is a mental identity.

While sex can only be referred to as male and female, gender identities are endless.

There are girls, boys, men, women, agender, bigender, transgender and many, many more. Gender is how you identify and it is based on your mentality and personality.

Who is correct?

Sorry, two-gender believers, but gender is a spectrum. You have the right idea, but you're confusing gender with sex.

So, there you have it. Now that the difference between sex and gender have been clarified, you can teach other people and educate the world one by one!
