Please feel free to add your own notes and comparisons. Perhaps one day I will come back and give biblical references for my thoughts, but do not count on it.
Gender: outward expression
Sex: deeply personal, private
Gender: outward trappings, clothing, communities and customs by which to behave
Sex: requires surgery or mutilation to change; can be deformed at/before birth or later in life. Always painful to change - there is blood.
Gender: changes by stepping into the closet, so to say. Acting. Clothing, the requirements for which may change from year to year.
I give no ruling to say that this is an absolute. But I do say clearly that there is a difference between the two, and the fact of sex and the notion of gender are mutually exclusive, though they do often correspond. But that is a different subject.
We are a group of friends who met and bonded in Baylor University's Honors Residential College. We have different opinions, backgrounds, and approaches to life, but we share a love for good art, intellectual belief, and Jesus. As we prepare to graduate, we're creating this blog as a platform to continue our discussions and open them to others. Welcome!
