Sex and gender are mostly the same, except for cases like this and in what's called Androgen insensitivity syndrome, where men develop looking and thinking like women (brain looks like a female brain, with more white cells, less gray, etc.), but they have internal gonads that never dropped. The AIS are sexual female and gender male, but they mostly think of themselves as straight women,i.e. they have less tendency to be "lesbian" as a percentage of the population than "actual" women.
Then there's functional hermaphrodites who are both.
Is it normal to be pissed about this pregnant man?
