Cal Housing is open to all genders. Please use this text box to self-identify

<p>That is what it says in the Berkeley housing application in the profile part. What do we write in that box? Is it for us to write personal info about us? I'm very confused! lol. help! : ]</p>

<p>Gender is a social concept
Sex is a biological concept.</p>

<p>Ignoring possible genetic disorders
If you have a Y chromosome, you are of the male sex
If you have no Y chromosome, you are of the female sex</p>

<p>Your gender is what you define yourself.
You could be born into the male sex but feel female and hence have a female gender.
You could be born into the female sex but feel male and hence have a male gender.</p>

<p>If you don’t identify with either gender, that is what the box is there for.</p>

<p>ooooh thanks that was really weird
lol
i wonder who actually writes in the box…
but thanks i was confused</p>
