"Your genitals determine your biological SEX -- which is male or female. What determines gender [masculine, feminine, neutral] is culture. So in some cultures, a skirt is feminine while in others it is masculine."

I think that's conceding too much. Sex and gender are the SAME, regardless of the fact that social conventions and clothing styles for male and female might vary among cultures.

Sex and gender are NOT the same thing. This is how the left has gamed this issue by misapplying terms.

Nouns and adjectives have gender. People have sex.

No, they are not.

Gender is a language term. A language may have a dozen genders but there are only two sexes.
