Although it is not well-known and is not included in the compulsory curriculum of country, one of the important fact is that it is wrong only two genders-male and female-exist. In gender concept, there is an opinion that gender is spectrum rather than some fixed value. In addition, sex concept also determined only male and female, intersex exists there. Most of intersex undergo sexual organs surgery on infants without having a chance to think and judge themselves. This surgery is a violation of human rights, because it’s purpose is not for the health and life, but fit into the gender-outlook.

3. Discussion point
Are biological differences between genders real? In text, there are
marked biological differences between male and female. However, Jewish
discrimination and racism used biology as methods of classifying a specific
group as inferior. Considering this context, on this issue, does the biological
difference preclude social stereotypes?
