@onekade @binarybits In general, I go with words meaning whatever people generally use them to mean, but in this case it's a cheat

@normative @onekade But "you're using this common word wrong" just makes people think you're arrogant and/or crazy.

@binarybits @normative @onekade Distinguishing between sex and gender isn't a highly academic or radical concept. It's pretty basic.

@mollyknefel If you asked 100 random people to explain the difference between sex and gender, how many do you think would get it "right?"

@binarybits @binarybits googling "sex and gender distinction" yields a lot of results. And a random survey is different than people writing-

@mollyknefel I understand that a lot of people draw the distinction. But I think it's still a fairly rarified group.

@binarybits @mollyknefel No way, this is incredibly basic. So wide-accepted that the current academic thing is not even that.

@sarahjeong @mollyknefel I'd be surprised if 10 percent of American adults had even heard about it.
