This Whole Gender Thing

I am sure you don't.

The word gender has been used since the 14th century as a grammatical term, referring to classes of noun designated as masculine, feminine, or neuter in some languages. The sense denoting biological sex has also been used since the 14th century, but this did not become common until the mid 20th century. Although the words gender and sex are often used interchangeably, they have slightly different connotations; sex tends to refer to biological differences, while gender more often refers to cultural and social differences and sometimes encompasses a broader range of identities than the binary of male and female

 

your hero Republican Bruce ... err, Caitlyn Jenner along with the Log Cabinites are much more accurate examples of that

 

tell that to Bru ... err, Caitlyn:

 

Gender used in reference to grammar has nothing to do with gender and people, totally different ideas. Such an example is absurd...

 

Gender is not exclusive to male or female.
The exact definition.
I told you, you wouldn't understand. It's ok.

 

In grammar, sure, that doesn't mean people have been applying that to other people since the 14th century, as you imply...

 

I gave you the definition from then. It's not tied to male or female exclusively. Only for a short time did some try to make it that, in their minds. But it's never been tied specifically to male or female. That's what the word/term sex is for.
