- Biological Gender (also known as "sex") - determined by the chromosomes, if an individual inherits two X chromosomes (from both parents), than they are female, if they inherit a Y chromosome from the father, along with the X chromosome from the mother, than they are male, also, biological females produce eggs, have a uterus, have a vagina, & give birth, while biological males produce sperm, have a penis, & are generally more robust than biological females, there are also some skeletal differences between the two sexes), in very rare cases, some individuals have both characteristics of both sexes (such as having both a penis & a vagina), they are called Intersex or Hermaphrodites.
- Legal Gender - nearly all babies are assigned with their biological sex as their legal Gender, however in some U.S states such as California, an individual has the option to change their legal gender, a biological male who is a transgender female may change their legal gender to female, which they have to petition the court, & the judge will make the final decision.
- Cultural Gender - In some non-Western cultures, there's a 3rd or 4th gender, such as the Faʻafafine in Samoans, the Muxe in Zapotecs, the Balkan sworn virgins in some Balkan ethnic groups, the Māhū in Native Hawaiians, & Tahitians, the Fakaleitī in Tongans, some traditional Diné Native Americans of the Southwestern United States, acknowledge a spectrum of four genders: feminine woman, masculine woman, feminine man, & masculine man, in Western culture, it's mostly a gender binary, however recently, there's been a rise in third genders such as Gender fluid, Gender non-conforming, etc, also transgender people can also be considered a cultural gender.
