Veronica, you made some good points, but unfortunately many are wrong. Gender and sex are not the same thing. Your definitions are ok for the sex of a person but you miss the point completely on gender.
Gender is in the head, sex is below the head.

All I ever wanted was to be a girl. Is that really asking too much?
I think we are on the same page, but you may have misread what I wrote. I was emphasizing that the word woman, by definition, is about the sex of the individual. No matter what is going on in our mind, that basic fact does not change. When threads such as this discuss a man either "being" or "becoming" a woman and expressing that by means of crossdressing, it is somewhat of a fallacy. I suggested that what we are experiencing is a desire, wish or need to be a woman, and not actually being a woman because of something called gender which is incapable of a finite definition. I gave my viewpoint on the difference between sex and gender in post #32 in the thread "Perhaps it is about the clothing"Originally Posted by almostalady
Thanks for giving me an opportunity to clarify my response.
