Gender is a word commonly used for a person's sex (male or female). When people use the word gender in this way, it is often because sex has many other meanings, making it easy to misunderstand. But there is a difference between 'sex' and 'gender'. The word 'sex' describes someone's body.

It says if someone feels or acts more like a female (feminine) or more like a male (masculine).
