Sex- physical, and binary unless you are born unusual or undergo deliberate surgery to change things.
Gender- the whole mental construct, including more than just male and female. Gods know if my mind could choose my body, it wouldn't have gone with female. It wouldn't have gone with male either (bonus- no pregnancy, but countered by less of the lovely female curve). If my physical sex could fit my amorphous mental gender, I'd be Other.

The noblest sentiment I have encountered and the most passionate political statement to stir my heart both belong to a fictional character. Why do we have no politicians as pure in their intent and determinedly joyous in their outlook as Arkady Bogdanov of Red Mars?
