Gender is not formed in a specific month. It is a complex and multifaceted aspect of a person's identity that develops over time, influenced by a combination of biological, social, and cultural factors.
Here's a breakdown of key factors:
- Biological Sex: Determined at conception by chromosomes (XX for female, XY for male).
- Gender Identity: A person's internal sense of being male, female, both, neither, or somewhere in between. This develops throughout childhood and adolescence.
- Gender Expression: How a person chooses to express their gender through clothing, behavior, and other means. This can vary widely and change over time.
It's important to remember that gender is a spectrum, and there's no single "right" way to be a man or a woman. Everyone's journey is unique.
