This is an unsurprising position to hold when you don’t know (or refuse to acknowledge) the difference between gender and sex. Do you think people who transition to a different gender think there’s no difference between the two?
- rpmisms 7y agoI'm fully aware of the supposed distiction. Feel free to read my statement as "biologically implied gender".
- ixtli 7y agoIf you meant to say "assigned gender" you should just say that because otherwise it comes across differently.
- collyw 7y agoGender has until recently been a synonym for sex. If you are referring to gender identity, then use that term.
- lightbyte 7y agoI don't know if I would say recently, this distinction started becoming used in the early 60s which was almost 60 years ago.
- collyw 7y agoNot where I grew up. UK, so we know the language fairly well.
- dragonwriter 7y agoGender was used synonymously with sex before the differences between the things known as ascribed gender, gender identity, and sex were identified and became things that needed distinct labels.
