Biological sex

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Biological sex - Refers to anatomical, physiological, genetic, or physical features that define if a person is male, female, or intersex. In this category include genitalia, gonads, hormone levels, hormone receptors, chromosomes, genes, and secondary sex traits. Sex is frequently mistaken with gender, which is defined by personal identity and societal influences and not by biological sex.
