性別可以分為生物性別 (sex) 和社會性別 (gender)，人類的生物性別 (Sex) 差異，是指男性和 女性生理上的先天差異。出生時就分為男性與女性， 因生理結構上不同的區分，也稱為性徵或生 理性別；社會性別 (Gender) 差異，是指社會上對於男性與女性的期待角色不同，而發展出不同的 性別特質稱之，乃透過社會化過程，定義女性和男性人格特質，包括其行為舉止、態度、 角色、 價值觀…等。生理性別是先天俱來，然社會性別可能透過學習、 刻意改變、多元文化和時空…… 等因素影響決定。 為何我們需要談性別議題，因為人類發展指數 (HDI，Human Development Indicator)、性 別發展指數 (GDI，Gender Development Indicator)、性別權力測度 (GEM，Gender Empowerment Measurement)、性別落差指標 (GGI，Gender Gap Indicator ) 都是國家競爭力的重要指標。而過去醫 學的性別觀點是非常薄弱的，因此需要談談病人是否需要有性別的差別待遇以及醫療性別主流化 的作法。

Sex can be divided into biological gender (sex) and social gender (gender). The human biological gender (sex) means the physiological differences between men and women. Men or women, because the distinction between different physical structure, also known as biological sex or sexuality. Social gender (gender) means the social expectations lead for male and female differences by the socialization process. The definition of male and female personality, including behavior, attitudes, roles, values ... etc. Biological sex is born nature, however, the social gender is affecting and decided by the factors, such as, learning, deliberately changing, multi-cultural diversity ...etc.

We have to discuss this Sex topic, as the key national competitiveness indicators are Human Development Indicator (HDI), Gender Development Indicator (GDI), Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM), Gender Gap Index (GGI). In the past, medical gender perspective is very weak, which causing we made this topic to study whether there are gender differences in patient needs when medical treatment and also find out the mainstreaming gender practices in medical field.
