Fadingpain Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Nouns have gender. Humans have sexes. Should have been a sex reveal party, and I still would not have realized what the term meant! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definition #1: gen·der ˈjendər/ noun 1. the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones). "traditional concepts of gender" synonyms: sex "variables included age, income, and gender" 2. GRAMMAR (in languages such as Latin, Greek, Russian, and German) each of the classes (typically masculine, feminine, common, neuter) of nouns and pronouns distinguished by the different inflections that they have and require in words syntactically associated with them. Grammatical gender is only very loosely associated with natural distinctions of sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thou must live in a world of absolutes? What part of this below don't You understand, or do You just make up Your own definitions? "Typically" doesn't mean exclusively. So yes, gender can be biological, revolve around physical attributes. Yet, "sex" is a synonym. Don't rage and get peeved with Me, I don't define this stuff: 1. the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones). "traditional concepts of gender" synonyms: sex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An hour or so of unnecessary drama to deliver a message that could just as easily been achieved with a group text. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
