“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.”

They are essentially the same thing and have been used that way throughout history. If you don’t believe me here is an article on the subject. If you are still too childish to admit your mistake take it up with the author. I’m through wasting time on someone who likes to argue for the sake of argument.

They have been mistakenly conflated by many people throughout history, but just because a bunch of people are wrong doesn't make them right.

Did you even read that article? He talks all about how words matter,and definitions are important, and even has all sorts of arguments that separate the words, but then still concludes that they mean the same thing. Hell, he even quotes Scalia in the middle of the article, and IGNORES THE WORDS HE QUOTES: "That is to say, gender is to sex as feminine is to female and masculine is to male.”

English may not have had much education on the subject (as 99% of it is neuter), but I'm pretty sure most other languages have been teaching gender for way longer than just since the '70s.
