    Gender-specific means something is for males only, or for females only — not for everyone. A gender-specific changing room, a gender-specific prize, or gender-specific language (like always saying he for a doctor) all pick one side. People use it for clothes, toilets, sports, medicine, and job ads.

    Gender-specific means「gender-specific」的意思是: something某個東西 for males only只限男性, or for females only或只限女性 — not for everyone而不是給每個人。 A gender-specific changing room限定性別的更衣室、 a gender-specific prize限定性別的獎項、 or gender-specific language或限定性別的語言 (like always saying he for a doctor)(像是講到醫生永遠說 he), all pick one side全都只挑了一邊。 People人們 use it拿它來講 clothes衣服、 toilets廁所、 sports運動、 medicine醫療 and job ads和徵人廣告。

    Though actually, speakers do not all mean the same thing by gender here. In everyday talk it often just means male or female. In some newer writing, gender is more about how a person lives and is seen, and sex is the body; those writers may say sex-specific for blood tests or drugs, and keep gender-specific for social things.

    Though actually不過其實, speakers說的人 by gender here用這裡的 gender do not all mean the same thing指的並不都是同一件事。 In everyday talk在日常談話裡 it它 often常常 just means只是指 male or female男性或女性。 In some newer writing在一些較新的寫作裡, gender is more about比較是在講 how a person lives and is seen一個人怎麼生活、怎麼被看待, and sex而 sex is the body指的是身體; those writers那些作者 for blood tests or drugs遇到血液檢查或藥物 may say可能會說 sex-specific, and keep gender-specific而把 gender-specific 留給 for social things社會層面的事。

    The is normal in careful writing: gender-specific, not genderspecific.

    in careful writing在講究的書寫裡 The hyphen連字號 is normal是正常的: gender-specific, not genderspecific而不是 genderspecific。
