Sex is something scientifically distinct for most people. It’s defined by a certain package of genes and hormones as well as more obvious physical features, including a person’s genitals and gonads (although a small proportion of people are biologically intersex). Gender, meanwhile, is a social identity, influenced not only by biology but also by external factors such as upbringing, culture, and the effect of stereotypes.”― Angela Saini, Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong—and the New Research That's Rewriting the Story

an interesting situation has occurred in the Dominican Republic, where enough intersexed people lived in several villages to have produced a special social category, the guevedoche.”― Joan Roughgarden, Evolution’s Rainbow: Diversity, Gender, and Sexuality in Nature and People
