Now, what is the difference between sex, gender identity, and sexual/romantic attraction?
Sex is your genes, basically xx chromosomes or xy chromosomes, like "male" or "female". Of course there's intersex people, which is some combination of the two, for example, it can be xxy.
Gender identity is a persons innate sense of their own gender, whether "male", "female" or any of the other things.
Sexual/romantic attraction is how someone feels about another person, whether it's sexually or romantically.
