Shayna: According to the latest queer-theory, you have both a sex and a gender. Sex is biological (genitalia, chromosomes, secondary sex features; male to female); gender is social (names, gender roles, dress, titles, etc.; man to woman).

That makes you a female woman, or cisgendered (non-transgendered) woman.

“I got one of these.” The boy says.  
“So what?” The girl exclaims. “With what I got, I can get as many of those as I want.”
