Hello, my child is about to start nursery and I've been sent a 'getting to know you' form about him and the second question asked after 'name' is 'gender'. Until I was radicalised by Mumsnet, ha! I also didn't understand the difference between sex and gender, and why it matters.
I want to say something to them about why it needs to be sex not gender, but I don't know what exactly and how to put it without sounding like a knob. It's the start of my relationship with them and don't want to come across as a difficult parent.
Help!
