no offense but why did you phrase this as though you disagreed lol the graphic in the comment clearly lays out the same distinction just in a different way
In an additional layer of complexity, the gender with which a person identifies does not always align with the sex they* are assigned at birth, and they may not be wholly male or female.
It’s important to understand the difference between sex and gender. Even within the trans community very few people understand the difference.
Gender is about societal roles, whereas sex is about biology. You can reject your societal gender role without wanting to change your body, and you can want to change your body while embracing your gender role.
