sex”這個詞（起源於拉丁詞secare：切割、分開）最初只不過用來將人類劃分為兩個群體：女性和男性。每個個體屬於這兩個群體中的一個，既，屬於兩性中的一個。一個人要麼是女性，要麼是男性。 然而，直到近來的觀察發現，這件事情並不是如此的簡單。在某些案例，要區分一個特別的個體是女性還是男性，變的異常的困難了。
The word "sex" (from the Latin secare: to cut, to divide) originally refers to nothing more than the division of the human race into two groups: females and males. Every individual belongs to either one of these groups, i.e. to one of the two sexes. A person is either of female or male sex.
However, upon closer inspection, the matter is not quite that simple. In some cases it can be extremely difficult to determine whether a particular individual is female or male.
