“title 9” is wrong not just because it is the name of a section in a book, but because it is unconstitutional and illegal.
It is discriminatory. It is illegal. It is not binding.
Sex is the correct term when delineating the chromosomal makeup of a person. Gender is a function of grammar.
My comment: Easy solution, throw on a dress, march into the office, say you now identify as a woman and have the debate.
Title IX is redistribution. Redistribution is communism.
Exactly. This is why I use the term "gender" to refer to the biological status conferred by having or lacking a Y chromosome, and "sex" to refer to a physical act.
The use of "gender" as a grammatical construct in languages that use gender is a direct consequence of the existence of biological gender. If there were no conceptual relation between biological gender and the grammatical construct, the terms would be essentially neutral, like using "animate" or "inanimate" or any other words used to differentiate classes of objects. Furthermore, the claim that "gender" only refers to grammar is ludicrous. Considering that speakers of English typically are unaware of grammatical constructs of other languages, this claim begs the question of why we would even know about this grammatical construction since we do not use it.
