The correct term is ‘sex’, not ‘gender’.
In standard English, the word gender is only used to distinguish between language forms, especially in romance languages like French. ANy other use is a jocularity or blunder (see Fowler’s Modern English Usage).
Changing the common term from something concrete and real like the word “sex” into a created construct (as all language is an abstract construct) like “gender” was a huge error, helped along by the Puritans who are afraid of the word invoking thoughts of relations.
And it is not just Romance languages which have gender. The Germanic languages do also, and English is in that group. In fact, all Indo-European languages have gender distinctions.
Gender is not the same as sex, as is shown by the example of German.
German is a good example (and should have some bearing for English-speakers, for English is just a form of German with many French and other loan words, and a less inflected grammar.) The definite article in German varies according to gender, but note that the word for girl is das Mädchen (neuter!), because it is formed with the diminutive ending -chen, and all such constructs are always neuter. Obviously, classed by sex, girls are female. But in German, girls are neuter in gender. Sex and gender are not the same.
The dog in German is der Hund (masculine), and the cat is die Katze (feminine, like most nouns which terminate in -e in the nominative). Well, obviously not all dogs are male, and not all cats are female, or they could not reproduce!
