I’m not the OP, but I think we deeply erred by conflating gender and biological sex characteristics into a single word. Unfortunately, the solution to retain men/women for gender and use more specific terminology for sex is problematic.
- There’s a greater argument to be made for binary biological sex, and you can attach obvious descriptions to it to make the two categories distinct.
- Gender on the other hand is more fluid (both historically in its expression, and in between cultures).
- Biological based terminology can be used historically (e.g. Women’s History)
But this is all off topic, so I’ll stop here.
