Male is the denomination that they receive and that identifies the individuals who have and are possessors of the masculine gender. Although many tend to use the word man as a synonym for male, in reality, male is the one that best describes this gender and the one that should be used to distinguish it from the female.

The numerous cases of different sexual choices such as being cross-dressing, transsexualism or homosexuality they show us that these are not enough. Other issues such as psychology of each person, the environment and experiences among others are those that contribute to determine the identity or people's sexual preference.
