Sex or Gender?

I always thought both these terms mean same thing. And I am sure most of others too. Today I was watching "Dus ka Dum" and they had a Trans-gender participant. I decided to understand what "Transgender" really means? Is it a mental state or a physical one? Without wasting a minute I sent time with my laptop on Internet for reading a lot of information on that.

Sex is what you are born with. Gender is what you feel. Sex can be changed. Gender can't be changed.

Now I have more respect towards people who live a Transgender life. It really take a lot to do what you feel and believe. Hats off!!!
