The distinction between sex and gender sparks many questions: the boundaries between masculine and feminine, the transformations of the anima and animus, and on increasingly precise definitions of identity. On the one hand, one observes the promise of greater freedom to be. On the other, there is a risk that differentiation will be harnessed to individualization rather than individuation. A detailed glossary lists continually evolving gender terms.
