You know the problem with this logic here?!

What I said is that you can use "gender" in any case you can use "sex", but it is not correct the other way around.

Let's now consider who agrees with it, alright?

Dictionaries/encyclopedias.
Scientists.
Biologists.
Journalists.
Linguists.
Writers.
Game developers.
Doctors.
In general, entertainment industry.
Politicians.
General public.
Some of the minorities.

Who does NOT agree with it?!
Small part of some of the minorities.
Some supporters of the certain minorities.


Now then, do you see the problem?! The language is ever-evolving, yes. However, the list is vastly larger for the supporters of what I said against the ones contesting it.

I'm not saying that what that person is saying won't be correct in a decade, two, five. I'm saying that it is NOT CORRECT NOW. It is not. This word did NOT yet evolve into what that poster is claiming to be correct. It may be in the process of doing that (as I acknowledged, and dictionaries did as well), but that process is not yet at a stage where what I said stopped being correct.
