The fact that the word gender was originally a purely linguistic term is irrelevant. The word has been borrowed to describe something which we previously did not have scientific data for, that being gender identity. While a new word could undoubtedly have been coined, the word

gender was convenient, because, although in a linguistic sense, it doesn't necessarily have any connection at all with what we now call gender identity, there being words like Fräulein which is neuter gender, but obviously describes a young woman, there is *_some_* overlap.
