[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Gender in lieu of sex. I don't have a gender, I am of the female sex. I identify as a female, but that's because I have matching parts. I detest the implication that gender is the softer way to not intimidate, insult or otherwise marginalize those who struggle with being born of one sex and not the other.[/quote] Actually, you have a gender as well as a sex. You are of the female sex, if you have female equipment. You have a female gender, if you identify as a woman. If you were a transgender man without any surgery or whatnot, then your sex would be female and your gender would be male. What the parents find out at the 20-week ultrasound is the sex of the fetus, not the gender of the fetus. See how that works? Basically, sex is what's in your pants; gender is what's in your head.[/quote]
