Gender confusion is the problematic state of not realizing or finding it difficult to accept what gender a person is. It is common among people who choose to not adhere to traditional gender roles, such as homosexuals, transsexuals, transvestites and cross-dressers. Parents must make the roles of mother (=females) and father (=males) very clear, so that children can learn and affirm that there are differences between boys and girls. Under good parenting, the children will not become confused about gender.[1]
The fact that there are two genders – male and female, based on one's biological sex – is affirmed through Scripture:{{Bible quote|So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.|book=Genesis|chap=1|verses=27|version=ESV}
