@Amuly21 If you mean you dont think gender is distinct from sex, my general impression (could be wrong) is that socialscience types disagree
#Socialscience tweeple: do we get a gender (as opposed to sex) by self-identification, or is it socially determined independent of our will?

@Amuly21 Oh thats a cool idea I hadn't heard of. So it's independent of will but also (somewhat) independent of mode of social organisationThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@Amuly21 Yeah, no doubt sex=gender is super counter-intuitive. But, I dunno, there's always some academic who will defend anything!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
