ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Gender

Gender is a way of saying whether you are a girl, a woman, a boy, or a man. It is usually based on how we look on the outside (like our hair or clothes) and how we feel on the inside. Some people’s gender is the same as the body they were born with, and some people’s gender is different. It is OK to be any gender. Everyone should be respected and accepted no matter what gender they are.
