Gender

Scientifically, Gender refers to the biological sex of an organism. In common culture, it can be used in a multitude of other ways, however. Possible meanings include, but are not limited to :
 * The gender role one acts according to
 * The gender one dresses as (see cross-dressing)
 * Any number of sexual orientations.
 * The sex one believes one most closely identifies with in terms of hormones, testosterone, and estrogen.
 * Or any other way one wishes to label oneself in terms of sex or sexual preference/orientation

Generally, there are only two commonly-identified genders - Male and Female. There are many sub-genders however, such as bigender, agender, pangender, and many more.

The gender of humans is usually determined at birth by a quick examination of the *entials. However, in rare cases, a baby can be born with ambiguous *enitalia, or can be born with one set of *enitals, but with the chromosomes of the opposite sex.
