Activity 2 • • Ask the participants to work in pairs with the one who is seated on the right hand side. Give instructions to them to discuss natural differences between males and females and ask each pair to write two characteristics in the cards given. Ask each pair to read to the gathering the characteristics written by them. There, facts such as physical differences (genitals, moustache, uterus, breast and physiological activities, menstruation, ejection of sperms, reproduction breast feeding) and the differences of physical activities and growth may be presented. Other non biological characteristics such as growing hair long and wearing different clothes may also be presented. Differentiate between what is biological and what is not and explain that sex is a biological difference created by nature. (Use Slide 1 and 2) • • • Material Slide 1 Male – female sex or sexual difference is the biological difference between the bodies of males and females, which is decided from the birth. The most important sexual difference between males and females is the hormone action and the difference of the reproductive system. Female genitals, uterus and breasts are given by nature to the female while male genitals are given to males by it. Accordingly females experience menstruation, conceiving and breast feeding by birth while males experience the production of sperms, ejection of sperms and creation of the embryo. It must be noted here that genetic mutations can lead to transgender features in people that make the distinct biological difference between women and men blurred. 20
