Man/boy - a noun to describe a person of masculine gender
Woman/girl - a noun to describe a person of feminine gender
Male - an adjective to describe a person at the masculine end of the gender spectrum
Female - an adjective to describe a person at the feminine end of the gender spectrum


Uhhhhhhhhh NO NO NO NO.

Gender - This would be where a person self-identifies on the masculine-feminine spectrum.

People who are not really self-aware about gender also HAVE a gender.

Transgender - a person whose gender does not match their current physical sex
Transexual - a person whose gender dos not match birth sex, and has undergone or is undergoing transition in order to change sex.


WHAT?
