Sex, gender and biology

Abstract

Biology is the science of the organisms. This science provides an integrated vision of all live beings, especially between the humans and the other animal organisms. The aim of this work is to analyze, from the perspective of biomedicine, the following important and controversial concepts: sex, gender-identity, gender-role and sexual orientation. In this biological approach, we offer data oriented to increase the degree of knowledge and tolerance in front of situations, regarding sex and gender, which are often analyzed only from an ideological, religious or cultural point of view.
