'''Sex''' is a group of physical differences in a species primarily defined by the gametes produced by an organism, and often also associated with differences in chromosomes, hormones, genitals, and secondary sex characteristics. Sex is often thought of as only including male and female, but similar to gender, sex is a spectrum with male and female being two extreme points. People can be [[intersex]], which means they do not cleanly fall into "male" or "female".
One's sex
* Chromosomes
* Genitalia
* Gonads and related reproductive structures.
* Secondary sex characteristics.

== Assigned Sex at Birth ==
One's assigned sex at birth (ASAB) is typically used to determine one's [[Assigned Gender|assigned gender at birth]] (AGAB). It is typically male ([[AMAB]]), female ([[AFAB]]), or intersex ([[AXAB]]), though intersex babies are often given non-consensual surgery so their body is closer to male or female. One is typically raised with the assumption that one will identify with their gender assigned at birth, though assigned sex does not determine one's gender later in life. ASAB
Studies show that those who are raised in a neutral manner ([[UAB]]) tend to have a better sense of identity, understanding, and social skills.

== Gender ==
Under the [[Binary Genders|gender binary]] it is believed that gender can be assigned based on sex, however gender can differ from ones biological sex ([[transgender]]/[[transine]]). Comfort or discomfort with one's sex characteristics may help in determining one's gender, however this is not always the case.
