How many times do I need to post this? There are two sexes, male and female. Sex is a biological category. There are three genders in the English language: masculine, feminine, and neuter. Gender is a grammatical category, describing nouns and pronouns. Please do not say gender when you mean sex. That is only accepting the terms of discourse dictated by our enemies the gender ideologues.

I’d say hermaphrodite would be a 4th.

Agreed. Linguistic activism has been used by those who want to weaken families and displace more morally inclined people in business, academia and politics. Here are some examples using proper terms. There are the male and female sexes. There are homosexuals. Some people with sexual identity difficulties would like to be transsexuals, but sex change is not medically possible.

Several important social institutions, and consequently, our economy have nearly been destroyed by those who produce little more than trouble, and linguistic activism intended for use in propaganda is one of the causes.

so all we have to do is stop saying ‘gender’ when we mean ‘sex’ and this whole issue goes away...?

if that’s not what you’re saying, what possible difference could it make what term is used...being the grammatical genius you obviously are, you should be fully aware of the multiplicity of etymological twins in the English language...
