Which of the following statements is correct about gender development in contemporary times ?

  • A.Gender is purely and solely determined by an individual's anatomy at birth.
  • B.Gender exists on a binary concept - one is either male or female.
  • C.Gender identity is influenced by cultural conceptions.
  • D.Gender identity is not influenced by socialization.

Answer: C

The correct statement is that gender identity is influenced by cultural conceptions.

Contemporary views separate biological sex from gender. Gender, the roles, behaviours and identities a society associates with being male, female or otherwise, is learned through family, school, media and culture, so what counts as masculine or feminine varies across societies and periods.

The other statements are the older views the question rules out. Gender is not purely determined by anatomy at birth, it is not seen as a strict binary, and socialization is one of the main influences on gender identity, not something without influence on it.
