"Henry, your definition of "gender" is wrong. you are incorrectly conflating "genetic sex", "physical sex", and "gender" - all three of which are vaguely related, but are still entirely separate."

Actually: no.

Read my OP...I mention 'gender' not once.

You introduced the term.

Again: my mistake was allowing you and others to conflate my *OP with gender.

*'If he has a penis, is genetically male, then -- despite self-definition -- he is 'he'.'

"And pronouns, any linguist can tell you, are used according to genders."

Then, for my clarification...

Define: 'he' (as it pertains to a human individual).

Define: 'she' (as it pertains to a human individual).
