Individuals' Gender is determined by sex universally in human societies; then the gender behavior of a specific society is determined by its custom, tradition, history., language and cultural rules and purposes. Gender and sex are not the same thing , THOUGH gender is partially determined by sex. Sex is 100% genetically determined. Gender is cultural, symbolic, uniquely human. Humans are the only species with gender.

Humans are the only species with gender.

Anyway, gender has existed since human origins 2.5 million years ago as the human way of organizing reproduction. Therefore gender is a totemism on natural sex in the Levi-Strauassian totemism on natural sex in the Levi-Strauassian semiotic sense an analogy to the binary logic of sex. Levi-Straussian structures based on the nature /culture binary.

But then gender generates third terms, whereas sex is locked in two. Gender is BOTH biologically and culturally determined ; both. Not only socially determined as Foucault and Butler et al. falsely claim. The existence of born intersex individuals does not contradict this. Individuals, regardless of genitalia, can play only one of two roles in fertile sex acts: egg or sperm donator. Male and female are complementary opposites, two sides of one coin, the basic division of reproductive labor in sexually reproducing species. né
