Why can’t I point out the difference between sex and gender?

Had a thread deleted earlier because I said that a baby doesn’t have a gender it has a sex.

It’s the conflation of sex with gender that has led to the grotesque stereotypes we see today that desperately need unpicking.

Language matters @MNHQ

Shoot, I meant a post not a thread- sorry!

I’m getting pissed off that when discussions move beyond the FWR board we are told it’s not in the spirit if we post about enough conflation of sex and gender, it’s a huge issue which has caused untold damage but god forbid we try and tell people about it.

#genderisbullshit.

That's surprising, someone always points it out on 'gender reveal' type threads. Confused

Was in on the feminism boards?

It seems like an odd reason to cull a thread since it is a subject that I've seen discussed a few times here.

Seriously?
