Sex and gender are not equal terms. Sex refers to the anantomical features, gender refers to more to the "social construction" of a person. ColinRtalk 02:39, 21 March 2007 (EDT)
The two paragraphs are contradictory. The first says that gender is a biological term, and the second says that it is not. RSchlafly 01:47, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
- It could also go into linguistic nuances, but I'm sure it'll get fleshed out over time. --Crackertalk 01:53, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

- This article is not even as good as having no article. It mixed up gender dysphoria, sex, and electrical plugs. Let's just start over.
The creators/editors of this site are far too conservative. This is not what sex means. Sex is not Gender. I agree with Zerba
- Perhaps some of this confusion is due to changes in definitions. Senator Clinton and the UN have shown an interest in redefining gender roles.
- Sex = gender
- Both refer to male and female.
- What masculinity and femininity truly mean (or should mean) or ought to become is ever more a matter of contention than the US political spectrum. --Ed Poor 15:02, 12 April 2007 (EDT)
