What is ‘gender’?

Just been asked this by my dc who has SEN but old enough to start hearing about this at school (Upper Primary age). I could do with a good simple answer. Language needs to be straightforward but accurate to help protect against this harmful ideology. My first attempt probably just confused things.

Any help?

Sex is male/female, your biology. You don’t get to choose it, it is what it is.

Gender is masculine/feminine, the things that society associated with your sex - but that is imposed and can, and should be, ignored. So gender is like saying football is for boys, baking is for girls.
