Schools really need to teach those simple 4 concepts when they explain sexuality:
- 'Sex' is what you have in your crotch.
- 'Gender' are all those social constructs we build around each 'sex'. i.e: If your gender is female, you dress as a female, and all that social stuff.
- 'Sexuality' defines what makes you sexually aroused. If you like males, if you like females, if you like both, if you like none, if you like everything...
- 'Gender identity' defines what gender you feel identified with, even if it doesn't match your 'sex'.
I say this because I keep seeing people mistaking those concepts. Like they thing being homosexual means being a transgender female or something. Being homosexual has nothing to do with being transgender. Also not everyone who likes their same sex is homosexual. They can be bi, or bicurious.

Sure. It would be fine if people understood these however gender is too fucking broad and useless, you need to specify: gender roles, stereotypes etc. Also children are retarded and can't do abstract concepts so the too young one's would come out with girl = dress, boy = pants.
Also does "sex is what's between your legs" include deformities or artificially constructed genitals?
I also wouldn't actually trust anyone to actually teach this properly. The consequences in gender studies, from what I can observe, is that these terms are completely unrelated and that gender roles are simply arbitrary and created to oppress, which is simply false.
