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

which is why "they use gender insted of sex because sex can also be a verb" is a weak argument

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?

"socially constructed" says nothing

so, then saying it doesn't exist because its not science, but language, is not really a good argument

everything is socially constructed

its not useful to me to have gender and sex mean the same thing because you will have people argue that gender means whatever they want it to mean while sex will never be touched, sex will simply be replaced and ultimately youll lose the argument in the long run

the other way around

>to me

that is not an argument, but a preference

i rather maintain concrete, historicaly fortuitious language which i can argue my points with

which is fine to have, but does not mean it will apply to anyone else

if gender becomes volatile and not useful, people will just use "sex"

and this is how we get to "biological sex is a social construct"

if gender becomes volatile and not useful it will be because people are using it for that purpose

meaning its not useless

if enough SJW use racism as "prejudice+power" should we assume the definition changed too?

they will change it against your will if you let them

@.B good news, they now have a name for prejudice against people of the same power level, its apparently called colorism
