From a young age, most children know what their gender identity is and find it really hard to think about themselves in another way.These gender expectations can affect a person’s social, work and legal rights. Like expecting males to be “tough” and females to be “gentle”. Most societies also have expectations and stereotypes about gender based on someone’s assigned sex.Most societies think there are only two genders that people identify with, either male or female.We usually assume a person’s assigned sex decides their gender, but it’s more complex than that! It can also be a legal status that we’re given at birth or that we change over our lives. It can be the assigned sex a doctor gives us at birth, depending on what our genitals and chromosomes look like. It can be about biological features our bodies have, like our genitals and chromosomes. Sex can mean lots of different things.
