Getting started

Hello, I have separated the paragraph into different themes and combine few sentences together. Feel free to edit if I did it wrong! Cheers.

Hi everyone, I was just reading over the first paragraph ( Gender), and I am a little confused by the last two sentences. It states "In addition to behavior, gender can also be separated by an individual's physical and mental characteristics. Since gender is determined by the individual themselves, it is difference from sex, where an individual is biologically born into a certain sex.

Maybe I am interpreting this incorrectly, but my understanding of the first sentence is that one's gender can be differentiated by their physical characteristics... which is false, as suggested by the second sentence. (An individual's physical characteristics determines their sex). I'm going to edit this for now. Let me know if I'm just understanding this incorrectly.

I modified the last two sentences so that it's more clear but generally still gets the same point across. Hopefully it clarifies your earlier questions.

Nice evidence of collaborative writing going on here - well done.

Hey Everyone,

When reading over the various sub-sections of the "2. Introduction" I was thinking the definition of sex and gender, which is currently in "2.3 Introduction - Usefulness" would fit better in the first paragraph of "2.1 Introduction - History". Jaimie was suggesting that we beef up that first paragraph and tie it in with the second paragraph, and it seems quite strange to immediately start talking about measuring gender and the history of measuring gender without first defining it and differentiating it from sex. If there are no objections I will move it to that section and edit it.
