Since a lot of the people here cannot comprehend the difference between Gender and Sex, I thought I'd explain it to you.
Thank you to whoever posted the thread on Caitlyn Jenner thread, so that I could witness all the idiotic transphobic people.
Gender is not the same as sex. Yes, that is correct.
While your sex may be male, your gender may be female. Now I know that your small brains are already bursting and you're about ready to flame me saying that it isn't true.
Let's take a trip to the dictionary, shall we?
Did you catch that last part? Let me repeat it.
Now already my point is proven. Typically used in reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones.
I can't believe some of you don't understand that by now.
Still aren't convinced? Let's look at the definition for Sex.
Humans are divided into the two main sexes, on the basis of which set of reproductive organs they possess.
This means that calling Caitlyn Jenner anything other than female is incorrect.
She identifies as a female now, that is her gender.
Her sex is male, because she cannot bear children, but her gender is female.
Understand?
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, it seemed to be the most fitting.
