There are two terms being used in this contemporary dialogue to describe the sex-based research: “sex” and “gender.” The term gender is becoming more common in scientific publications to describe biological variation traditionally assigned to sex, and this nonspecific language merits a standardized approach. In- creasingly, researchers are becoming aware of the appropriate use of the terms sex vs. gender. Still, some scientists are vaguely aware that a distinction exists between these terms or that this difference is an important one.
Gender can be thought of as the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex. Gender (noun) is derived from the Latin word “genus” referring to kind or race (8). Gender (noun) is defined as “a kind, sort, or class referring to the common sort of people” (8).
Of the article titles examined by the authors of this article from 1960 to 2004 in the Journal of Applied Physiology, all titles using gender were sex-based investigations.
Transgender in- dividuals have a genetic sex but occupy a gender role other than that typically assigned to their sex. Some transgender individuals are using exogenous sex hormones in their day-to- day life, and these hormones are impacting their physiology.
lternatively, transsexual individuals are genetically one sex and have gone through a range of surgical modifications and hormonal interventions that allow sex reassignment.
It seems valid to argue that a consensus for using sex and gender in a standard context, as outlined by the IOM, needs to be implemented in physiology to provide consistency and alleviate confusion within as well as outside this discipline.
