‘People have a sex, not a gender.’
and you know perfectly well, that in common parlance, the two words are interchageble, with no loss in comprehension...but, be a pedant, if it makes you happy...
No, they are absolutely not interchangeable. It may offend Baptist sensibilities when they hear the word sex (believing it’s a dirty word) but it doesn’t change the facts
The Left has claimed the language and right wingers continue to let them.
“Gender” as applied to sex is an invention of a pedophile (John Money).
Things (nouns) have a gender - Masculine/Feminine. People have a sex - Male/Female. They are not synonymous.
