There is an old saying that “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me”.

According to various websites, there are between 20 to 170 “genders”. People rightfully ask what the
difference is between gender and sex. My definition in simple terms is that sex is what you are, and
gender is what you think you are. Read more…
