This of course depends on the definition of gender being used. There are many wildly different ones in circulation at the moment.

I’m using it in the sense Steven Pinker does here, in that there are substantial statistical differences in interests between men & women, & these have biological roots [1]:https://www.learnliberty.org/videos/steven-pinker-political-correctness-might-be-redpilling-america/ …

I am aware of gender-non-conforming behaviour & the relative commonness of statistical outliers, because I am one - a gay woman, very large & strong (6’1” & 200lb), with precisely zero interest in babies, dolls, or gossip as a child. [2]

I'm wary of attempts to disassociate gender (interests & aptitudes) from sex (biology) entirely, although in the context of Britain's Great Post-Brexit Tr*ns Looniness, I understand why doing so is rhetorically effective.

Me too, and I tend to prefer the definition of gender you also use, i.e., sex-related behaviors, personalities, and preferences. There's good evidence these average differences have a basis in biology, which isn't to say everyone conforms to them.

So true though, so perfect. I must have got it via Geoffrey when he retweeted Diana.
