The chromosomes X and Y are not gender chromosomes. They are sex chromosomes. Wearing a red dress, heavy makeup and exaggerated mannerisms is gender.

It is common knowledge and widely accepted that to control language is to control thought. ‘Sex’ was displaced in the common vernacular so that the ambiguities about what one decides himself (or herself) to be is acceptable no matter their sex. Sex is irrefutable. Gender is refutable. Because the genetics of sex are indelible, social pressure is used to force conformity and acceptance of one’s preference to a lifestyle and to social interaction.

Society defines gender. Chromosomes define sex.








*Still not a word last I checked.

That is a very insightful post and not how I looked at this before.
