I think they took advantage of the technicality of sex and gender not being the same thing. It’s like the only true thing they claim, and that even gets twisted or forgotten depending on what their aiming for in any conversation. They always leave out that gender is defined by the sexes in its own definition.

I think they caused the confusion after pushing the distinction. Before, gender and sex were often used interchangeably without any real issues that I can think of. I’m sure there were instances where the distinction needed to be made, but never once when I filled out a form and it asked my gender instead of my sex did I wonder if they were asking how I personally identified. I knew they were still asking if I was a male or female.

Yes, that is what I was thinking. First they claim that gender and sex are different and they have a different "gender". When what they really want is being viewed as the opposite sex. They switch between "sex and gender are different" and "gender should override sex" depending on what is more convenient for them at the moment.
