Hey, where's the clothes option?

The looks? Or "whom they live"?

You can actually have XX chromosomes at birth, but have had too much testosterone produced in the first 6weeks of pregnancy and this makes your body appear as a man. Something like that. I forget the details.

I think it's also what someone feels psychologically.

From a distance you look like my friend,

even though we are at war.

Gender is what your brain is, sex is what your body is, but there's more to it than that, because a big part of gender is gender stereotypes and gender roles.

I personally tend to refer to transgendered people by their gender (mental) rather than their sex (physical).

Not all men who act "feminine" are transgendered... and not all "tomboys" are, either. I wonder if there are tomboys-trapped-in-men's-bodies, or effeminate-men-trapped-in-women's-bodies... My one transgendered friend (female-to-male, but I hardly ever think of him as female anymore) doesn't really conform to male OR female gender stereotypes.

Your sex is the physical.  Your gender is the mental part and the part that is basically a bunch of stereotypes that our society has.  If someone does not feel like a woman, think like a woman, act like a woman, or look like a woman, how then could you say they are a woman gender wise?

And I do not like your choice of words in your poll.  "Fake gender"? I find that quite insulting.

Different =/= wrong

Give me some situations where it matters whether he's male or female and I'll tell you why it shouldn't matter.

But since I'm regquired to produce a post that is a tiny little bit more verbose. . . .

IMHO, I might be fine playing 'not-so-straight' for a couple of days if somebody offered me million dollars in cash for it . . . Its a head-problem. You are what you want to be. Thats why there exists a group of people called 'losers' in the world.
