sex and gender

Hello guys, it's been quite awhile since i last blogged in english. I'm pretty sorry about that as i am really busy, i had only 5 days that i could be back in my room by 12am, other than that, it's either 1am/1.30am since the new semester started. I actually got lazy to blog but was motivated to blog again when i heard one of my coursemate telling me that she reads my blog. So, ok, gotta wait for awhile for me to cover back my July and August wrap out. Ikr, it's September now, almost October, and i'm still haven done with my previous 2 months bloggie. I know i'm a failed blogger, please just forgive me la okayh.

So just wanna share with you guys about one interesting thing i learnt in class today. It's about Sex and Gender. Let me ask you, how do you define between sex and gender?

Sex is how you're biologically coordinated, how you're born, how you're completed with genitals ( sex organs ), either the guys, girls or both. 
But gender, is how you portrays yourself as a gender you wanna be, how do you tell others your innerself and how the society define a certain sex by the outer look and behaviour. Besides, it also depends on how one is being brought up by the family, how one was treated. It's more to cultural. 

Like for some cases, some people they're born with the guy's body sexual structure, but maybe there is mismatch of chromosomes in the cell which leads them to act more feminine. And they themselves think their soul are girls but they're born with wrong diff body structures.
Therefore, some of them chooses to undergo transgender operation. But still, their sex is still the original ones, how they're born with, how they're biologically inherited from the parents. Sex is something which you cannot change.

But for gender, i would say yes and no. Yes and No, why? It is yes, changeable from an individual's perspective; you have the rights and you're managed to display yourself of whom you wanna be, who you really are. It is No, from a society's perspective, it's very difficult as the society has already had that kind of expectations from you, they have already a mould and expected you to be the exact shape that could fit it. Let's say if you're a boy and being brought up as a girl, the society will still judge you based on your look, if you look like a boy, they'll still locked your image as a boy. There's gonna be a conflict when your family culture does not fit into the bigger culture zone.
I don't know, but i've seen a lot of cases where transgender are not being treated as normal human being, the society bans them from being honest with themselves. I doubt if the gender inequality itself is the root cause of transgender prostitution. :/

Alright, share me your opinions. 
Goodnight, see you soon.
