“And I can call my dog’s tail a leg, and tell everyone that visits me to do so, but that doesn’t mean he grew an extra leg. Yes, ‘girl’ and ‘female’ are pretty close to the same thing, but ‘female’ and ‘feminine’, while related, do not in any way share definitions.”

Lighten up Francis. You knew what I meant right? So you don’t have to get pedantic about it. I bet you also like to point out spelling errors on internet posts.

Yes, you meant that 'sex' and 'gender' are "often used interchangeably in the English language", which implies, if not basically states, that they're the same thing, and they're not.

And sure, if it's in the middle of a conversation and someone makes errors that are changing the intent of their statements.
