Just FYI, Gender is not the same thing as sex. Gender is the difference between feminine and masculine. Sex is the difference between male and female. Sex is biological (physical parts). Gender is socially constructed.
Overall, you should understand that Gender, largely, has no meaning. This is because what is considered "masculine" and "feminine" in one generation is not necessarily true in another. Being "clean", for instance, was largely considered a feminine trait. It's sort of neutral now, but we still think of girls as "clean and pretty" and boys as "rough and dirty".
And no, doing something so "your kid won't get beat up in school" is a terrible excuse to do anything. Don't blame the victims of bullying. That's just enabling the scum to kick your kids around.
Sheesh, I learned all of this in Catholic school. I thought at least someone else here would know the difference.
