Male is a term used to describe individuals who are biologically assigned male at birth and typically have reproductive anatomy that includes structures such as testes and male secondary sexual characteristics. In terms of gender, "male" is often used to refer to individuals who identify as men or boys. However, it is important to recognize that gender identity is distinct from biological sex, and some individuals assigned male at birth may not identify as male. The term "male" is commonly used in scientific, medical, and social contexts to categorize individuals based on their sex characteristics. It is crucial to respect and affirm the gender identities of all individuals, whether they align with traditional expectations associated with being male or not, and to recognize the diversity and complexity of gender beyond binary definitions.
