(And still appears as that in some dictionaries). It's only since the idea of "gender identity" distinct from biological sex has become well-known that the idea of using "sex" and "gender" to mean different things has become widespread. So it's an understandable mistake. It does seem pretty usual now, though. ( etymonline.com/word/gender , en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender#Etymology_and_usage ) | |
