but not allow their sons to try many "feminine" activities, partially from fear of confusing the boy's gender identity.In conclusion, I hope to see more clarification on the topics of gender (or sex .typing), gender identity, and sex. In teaching, I don't use the word sex anymore because of its multiple meanings. I had been using the term gender instead and included both a biological and psychological component, as in "Which gender shows more verbal ability?" Unger's article will lead me to watch such terms more carefully from now on.
