I am not trying to start an argument, but in fact sex is the wrong word.
Sex is a action between two being (generally for procreation, but also for enjoyment), whether human or other; and it doesn't matter what gender, such as m/m, f/f, f/m or even a combination.
Gender is the idenfication of, to put it crudely, what is between your legs.
A Male has a penis a female has a vagina. (sorry Freud, it wasn't penis envy, women were envious of the freedom a man had, not their equipment). Your sexual organs states if you are male or female gender.
And that can even be off in that aspect; for our true gender is determined by the gland at the back of your head (can't remember what it is called) that send the hormone for whatever gender you are, testertone for a male and estrogen for a female.
And I won't go into the androgeneous individuals, who were born with both gender organs.
Okay, enough of biopsychology, I HATED that class.
