Deal with the mess in your head to reduce the nonsense you produce and such to get lesser of opposing, which annoys you.
Above you protected the lie by another lie.
Lol. I will take the mess in my head over the mess your fingers make on your keyboard.
You really don’t know the fine distinctions among various terms in English, and why should you? I don’t expect you to.
It has nothing to do with lies. I am trying to understand why you think you can correct people’s English. Since you aren’t interested in any kind of discussion about that, I will draw my own conclusions.
Going by the dictionary alone, “sex” does refer to a biological distinction. And “gender” has to do with social role. Those are the strict technical meanings, as you know. But people don’t say, “What’s your sex?” for example to someone online. They probably would avoid both terms, “sex” and “gender,” by saying something like, “Are you male or female?” But if they are going to use one in the context of Avalonia’s statement, “gender” sounds more normal.
This is called “usage.” How people use the language as a living, evolving thing every day.
