Sex and Gender identity

It looks like Western scholars have long said, what we have been saying here, only the Western society chose to ignore it:

One’s “sex” is determined by one’s anatomy, by one’s genitalia. On this basis
persons are declared male or female at birth.
One’s “gender identity” refers to one’s inner sense of one’s sexuality, to one’s
experience of oneself as male or female. John Money asserts:

Because sex differences are not only genitally sexual, although they may be sec-
ondarily derived from the procreative organs, I found a need some thirty years
ago for a word under which to classify them. That word, which has now become
accepted into language, is gender. Everyone has a gender identity/role, one part
of which is one’s genital or genitosexual gender identity/role....the masculinity

everyone can observe and read the meaning of. Inside the globe are the private
workings of your gender identity.

It is possible to be an “anatomical” male and have a female gender identity or
vice versa, as is the case for transsexuals.
One’s “gender role” is determined by the complex interaction between one’s
sex and the culture’s determination of what is expected of or appropriate for
women or men to be and do. On this basis men and women are said to be mascu-
line or feminine. For example, it is acceptable for an anatomical female who under-
stands herself to be a woman to wear traditional men’s clothes, i.e., trousers. In the
United States such is regularly the case. It is not usually acceptable for an anatomi-
cal male who understands himself to be a man to wear traditional women’s
clothes, i.e., skirts. In the United States such a person is a cross-dresser; in Scotland
he may be in traditional garb—a kilt.
