WHAT IS GENDER? (definition)?

Question

Also include WHAT ARE THE KINDS OF GENDER?

Answer 1

Gender refers to the feminine, masculine, or neutral form of nouns, pronouns, and their associated modifiers (articles and adjectives).

In English, the only gender shows up on pronouns:
he (masculine)
she (feminine)
it (neutral)

In German, gender is much more complicated. All nouns have a gender, which can be masculine, feminine, or neutral.
der Sohn (the son, masculine)
die Tochter (the daughter, feminine)
das Kind (the child, neutral)

Spanish has only two genders, masculine and feminine.
el hombre (the man, masculine)
la mujer (the woman, feminine)

Answer 2

Gender, in a sexual sense, is defined by the arrangement of the reproductive genitalia in animals. There are three main genders being: male, female, and hermaphroditic. The latter is when a child is born with both sets of genitalia, usually one or both are not operational, ambiguous genitalia, or remnants of the opposite genitalia. It is usually corrected at birth in noticeable cases, at the parents consent, and is much more common than most people think (up to one percent in noticeable cases, and much higher in the other kinds of hermaphrodites).
