Mehmet -
People can be born hermaphrodites - that is a fact, and it is NOT so simple as being male/female. Some people also XXY or XXXY or whatever regarding sex chromosomes and do not appear to be intersex at all.
Gender may be the same as sex in German, but the article was written in English. I'm going to comment on how its English comes across.
Sex is the body, it's physical features.
Gender is how one views themselves, mentally, in relation to societal standards, etc of men and women. Their physical body may match, not match, or in some cases there is no body to match.
Germany is working with a matter of sex, something that is NOT ALWAYS straightforward at birth, so that later the child may decide what is comfortable for them instead of being decided for them.
