The Britannica Dictionary defines gender as "a person's own sense of being male, female, some combination of male and female, or neither male nor female." Gender is socially and culturally constructed, reflecting ideas and values about what it means to be a man, woman, or neither.
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, "Among those who study gender and sexuality, a clear delineation between sex and gender is typically prescribed, with sex as the preferred term for biological forms, and gender limited to its meanings involving behavioral, cultural, and psychological traits."
