Sex and gender are the SAME, No, they are not.
Gender is a language term. A language may have a dozen genders but there are only two sexes.

A language may have a dozen genders And a language may have 25 words for "Rice", but we are discussing English. As I typed in post 19, look up Gender in an older (American/English) dictionary. There are 3. Or, there were. The progressives have taken control of the language for many, but I don't have to buy into it.

Thank you! And gender is a term of grammar also.
To: ETCS
I am talking about gender in language in general.
If you are only going to talk about English, there is basically no gender in English with most of our words being neutral and a small minority being masculine or feminine.
The Romance language are where gender is mostly binary with everything being either masculine or feminine with a tiny bit being neutral.
Now in Basque you would also have masculine, feminine, neutral but also animate and inanimate depending on if you are talking about a human/animal or a rock.
There are other languages who may have more and some who have almost no gender differentials at all.

"Gender is a language term. A language may have a dozen genders but there are only two sexes."
For the left, "gender" is a psychological/spiritual term before it is a language term; it refers to one's inner feelings AT THE MOMENT, regardless of one's biology. They are trying to make the language (pronouns, etc.) correspond to all of the different ways in which people categorize their feelings.
I am not aware of any language that has more than three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. Tenses are another matter.

Agreed! Liberals try to change language every way they can to confuse and wear down their enemies.

Sex is a noun in both senses: sex as in male or female, sex as in having intercourse.
Gender is a linguistic term, not a biological one.

Sex is binary. Gender varies according to language.
The two must not be conflated, which the communists deliberately do.
