Question

What is the difference between s*x and gender?

Answer 1

When used with the right defenition, s*x and gender are exactly the same thing. s*x is also a word used to describe Sexual Intercorse.

Answer 2

"Sex” refers more to the biological and physiological characteristics that define males and females.

“Gender” refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for men and women and those of indeterminate gender who may display characteristics or mannerisms of both sexes.

"s*x" is also used to describe sexual activity between the same or different gendered individuals.

Answer 3

um..mayb s*x is in reference 2 only humans bt gender also covers animals?  

Answer 4

"s*x" as a noun, is synonymous to "gender;" but used as a verb, means "coitus."  

In contrast, "gender" is a noun, and it means the same as "s*x" in noun form, which is characteristics that identify a male from a female.  

Answer 5

As far as I was aware they are synonymous. This seems to be the case at Thesaurus.com anyway.

Answer 6

Essentially, there's no difference. It's mostly about the most common uses of the terms. I've found that "gender" tends to be more prevalent with "boy" and "girl" where s*x is typically "male" and "female."

I've also found that "hermaphrodite" tends to be associated with the s*x of a species rather than a gender of a species. I'm not sure if this is a result of taboo, science, or society, but I do lean towards society on this association.

Answer 7

Gender is to know whether the person is Male or Female.

s*x can be used for above purpose or is referred to sexual intercourse too...
