The origin of Gender, examples from the movie "My life in Pink" and reading of "X: A Fabulous Child's Story".

As human beings, we instinctively have questions about anything and everything; one of these questions is about the origin of gender. According to The American Heritage Dictionary, the word gender is defined as the condition of being female or male. In this essay, gender is defined by the characteristics of a person and their sexual identity in relation to society. With the definition being clarified, one may ask whether gender is instilled into us by …

…its sex. In conclusion, both genders are instinctively within us but they are defined and refined by the society in which we live. Gender is created by society in the sense that the society puts together the guidelines of how a certain sex is supposed to behave and react, and then it is up to the caretaker of the child to lead it in the proper track and as a result, discovering its proper gender.
