I can't stand the word gender.
What's un-pc about the word sex when differentiating between membership of the male or female camp?
It's so a transexual,transvestite, or more importantly someone who has a chromosomal abnormality meaning they didn't know what "sex" they were would easily be able to say what "gender" they were. There are also people who decide they are a "third gender". For most of us it doesn't make a blind bit of difference as both are the same."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

There as "Gender" is more likely used on things like council diversity monitoring forms where it doesn't really matter if you put you are "xxy", "hermaphrodite", "third gender" or "alien".
To be honest I think it's a fast as if you are stuck with what you view is the wrong "Sex" on your birth certificate then putting a different "Gender" on a diversity monitoring form isn't really helpful."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
