Gender vs. Sexuality

There is a very distinctive difference between gender and sexuality, and unfortunately many people mix them up. Gender can be divided into more than just male and female. In Dinita Smith’s article Beyond Appearances: The Ambiguities of Sexuality, she distinguishes all of the different terms, such as transvestite, hermaphrodite, transgendered, and their politically correct definitions. Gender is defined in the way you an individual thinks and behaves, whereas sexuality is an individual’s biological sexuality based off their sex organs.
