Apparently I shouldn't use the term SEX

Isn't there an element of homophobia in some factions promoting trans ideology? Some are reporting people, in some circles, are now preferring to be seen as trans rather than homosexual.

If someone describes someone as having a 'Gendery' body, is that objectification?

Genderal intercourse?

'Allo darlin'. Fancy coming upstairs for a spot of gender? Fnarr fnarr.

Gender is actually for inanimate objects.

A table in French would be 'la table' and therefore gender is feminine. The government is 'le gouvernement' and is of a male gender.

All living things are of male or female sex, as determined by chromosomes. It's not currently possible to have a sex-change, as that would require - for say male-to-female - swapping out all the Y-chromosomes, for X-chromosomes in every cell. I seem to recall reading that the legal definition of what sex somebody is, was covered by chromosomes.

However the OP's daughter is 30, so she is right, 'cos everybody under 30 is always right (I certainly was) and letting facts get in the way of a sweeping statement is to be avoided (pro tem and forever)

Disclaimer : If you're a right-wing, fundamentalist American-Baptist and reading this, you'll understand that 'sex' is a dirty word and should be avoided at all cost and gender sounds so much more intelligent, along with using the noun 'impact' in place of the verb 'affect' or using " " double quotes instead of ' ' single as more is always better right?

We can't use sex at work, at least in written (types) stuff. It blocks it unless you change it to gender.

It still lets me swear on instant messenger, though (I had to explain what FFS meant to a German colleague.)

Sex and gender are two different concepts
Sex=Biology
Gender=Social Construct that varies between times/cultures etc
Political Correctness does not come into it.
This sort of stuff makes me go nuts.

I wonder how schools will teach biology in this "brave new world"? How will David Attenborough voice animal documentaries? Will he describe lions as those with manes, and those without? It's so painfully stupid!

The twisting of language in the name of ideology makes me incredibly angry. When people deny the impact of manipulating meaning in the name of whatever cause they espouse, or claim that it's necessary to repair some linguistic injustice, it's always evidence of an authoritarian bullying attitude that seeks to deny the rights of whoever they've decided is undeserving of real justice.

Sod that. I remember the one time I visited the job centre I had a look at their careers list, and saw the job 'chicken sexer' who's job it is to separate the male chicks from the female chicks.

Animals have sex, we are animals, we have sex. Nothing politically incorrect about reality.

Makes you wonder how they will ever manage to make babies..............
