AFONSO, Margarete; BARROS, Ernane Pedro Matos; CAVALCANTI, Matheus Paiva Emidio  e  RIBEIRO., Mariane Albuquerque Lima. An essay on individual self-determination. J. Hum. Growth Dev. [online]. 2019, vol.29, n.2, pp.131-135. ISSN 0104-1282.  https://doi.org/10.7322/jhgd.v29.9412.

There are several understandings about the role of human gender identity in the scientific field, this discussion correlates definitions of both social and biological basis. The current confusion in the conceptualization of "sex" and "gender" demonstrates the need for a comparative analysis of the scientific dynamic vocabulary, as well as the insertion of an interdisciplinary historical, social and cultural point of view together with the biological view outside the normative binary logic. The word "gender" can be defined as the social construction of sex, differing from the variable "sex" because it refers to a biological dimension of the anatomo-physiological characterization of humans, recognized as essential and innate in determining the distinctions between male and female. Therefore, the JHGD presents a thematic diversity that focuses on issues related to public health, demonstrating the need to develop knowledge and generate impact on public policy strategies, aiming at universality, equity and comprehensiveness in scientific research involving sex and gender and their impacts on health sciences.

Palavras-chave : sex; gender identity; sexuality; self-management; personal autonomy.
