Gendering Along

Gender is properly the domain of some languages, particularly German, wherein nouns are masculine, feminine, or neuter.

Hence, there are not only just two genders. There are three in this context. But leave it in this context. This context does not apply to biology.

Within the context of biology—especially human biology, there are only two sexes! And they are not masculine or feminine [both adjectives that can apply to either sex]. The two sexes are male or female. These labels are not so much adjective as they are rigid designations.

Substituting "gender" for "sex" is language pollution which is synonymous with thought pollution. And it doesn't work for other expressions involving "sex."

For instance, are farmers who must identify the sex of their livestock now "gendering the chickens" instead of "sexing the chickens?"

Is a sexist now a genderist? Is a sexual pervert now a gender pervert. Of course, we still haul out the "sex" root to apply it in a negative connotation I suppose.

If I directly ask a girl to have sex with me, do I now say, "Will you have gender with me."

NUTS.
