Abstract
It is important to discuss gender diversity alongside biological and sexual differences. Traditionally, males and females are innately different in multiple facets. Females are generally more introverted while their male counterparts tend to be more extroverted, demonstrating a different intrinsic personality trait between sexes. At the same time, the structures of male and female brains are also different to some extent. While sexual difference and related personality traits exist, there are many mechanisms to protect citizens against sexual discrimination, such as laws developed in the United States to punish those who intentionally discriminate against someone due to their sex. Currently, there are practical strategies in trying to curb sex inequality, contributing to the fight for gender equality in society. All in all, profound improvements in gender equality have been achieved, but the journey for gender equality still has a long way to go.
