I always seem to get sex and gender straight in my brain to make sure I understand articles. It doesn't seem like Dawkins is using them both in the excerpts you've presented.

I did like the sympathy/empathy quote. I wish everyone would be willing and able to understand transgender people. The misinformation that is so prevalent makes understanding so difficult. I appreciate that you have patiently educating me on so many aspects of your life

Sex and gender are so often conflated and everyone that everyone screws it up

Basic rule of thumb is anything you can see it witness is gender.

Thank you for clarifying. I'll try to remember that.

Again, everyone seems to have their own definition, and any definition has the flaws.

They can and are always being weaponized as well
