the Chinese have 5 different words using the same 3 letters
in the same order
if you go to asian countries, there's not even pronouns
kanjis are gendered
let's not dig a bigger hole into this
really i think only spanish has a word close to sex
sexo
what feminists are trying to do, removing gendered names of things can't even be done in most asian languages
italians use sesso
replace gender on all forms with "chromo" and have it be Y/X
portuguese too
well french use sexe
good luck trying to fix German if they are trying to make it "gender neutral"
even then though latin languages are also the most common languages to have a word with multiple definitions
and have those words transfer from verb to noun
also boats have genders apparently
but not sex
@Arch-Fiend is there no other language in which there is multiple words that mean the same thing?
yes there are
i think most languages do grenade
asking for the "sex" is also informal
its also not how science works
asking "gender" is considered the formal way of asking it
language has nothing to do with science
this is language, not science
perhaps you shouldent have been arguing that gender is a scientific word earlier then
most languages follow irrational evolutions
pretty sure science usually refers to things officially by sex, unofficially by whatever is common colloquial language
because the verb for sex in science is reproduction
or compitulation
or insemination
you misrepresent his statements
gender has, in colloquial English, be the same as biological sex.
then i can easly say it doesent exist
that does not mean biological sex is called gender in science
and just use a different language
aren't you contributing to my point? if you say "sex" you assume the act, if you say "gender" you assume the binary definition which can _also_ be defined as "sex"
well, no words exists
all words are socially constructed
yes.. so?
