What is Gender and Health?- End of the Term
What is Gender?
- Gender is both how you see and feel about yourself. Gender does not relate to body parts that categorize you as either a male or a female. Gender refers to how you identify yourself in the world, and how you want to be seen and acknowledged.
What is Health?
- Health is how you feel about yourself, and this refers to physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health and wellbeing. Health has many aspects to it because it is always changing with new science, but also the integration of past parts of health. Even though health seems to have a concise definition that was developed by experts, that explains what is health, how to be healthy, and are you healthy, health is very much self defined and related to how you feel about yourself and overall your health. That being said the experts have guidelines and information about health that should be acknowledged by people, however, not every aspect of these guidelines and information should over power one’s life, but the individual should make their own decisions regarding their health.
