性   Sex

  • 用性（sex）定义一个人是男或是女。它由5个基本的身体标准所决定：性染色体、性腺、性激素、附属内部生殖结构、和外部性器官。
  • 人们在性（sex）的层级上是男人还是女人，他/她在身体上就符合男或女的标准。
  • 大多数个体用这全部的5个身体标准来衡量，他们明显是男人或女人。但是，少数人从某种程度上不符合这个身体标准，那么，他们的性（sex）因此是不明确的（两性畸形）
  •  
  • Sex is defined as a person's maleness or femaleness. It is determined on the basis of five physical criteria: chromosomal sex, gonadal sex, hormonal sex, internal accessory reproductive structures, and external sex organs.
  • People are male or female to the degree in which they meet the physical criteria for maleness or femaleness.
  • Most individuals are clearly male or female by all five physical criteria. However, a minority fall somewhat short of this test, and their sex is therefore ambiguous (intersexuality).
