    I’m pretty sure alot of people use it interchangeably to mean the same thing. But I think over the years, gender has become more of a “social” word and Sex as more of a “biological” word. I say Gender instead of sex when talking about someone’s biology. A bit confusing honestly for non-native English speakers

      This:

      Seems at odds with:

                Neurological differences between men and women aren’t socially constructed any more than racial characteristics are. You should read up on the neurology of trans and cis people.

                    Alright. I get what trans people are. Those are people that attempt to transition their physical features from their born sex to the opposite sex.

                    No. It’s people whose gender doesn’t match their sex. Has nothing to do with transitioning

                    Cis is the opposite of trans
