How would a biology book prove your point? The only time it would use the word 'sex' would be to refer to intercourse or organs, not males &/or females.

Wut? You think the fact that plants and animals are male and female isn't discussed in biology books? Clearly you've never looked at a biology book.

Also, sex and reproductive organs are not the only parts of the human body that are sexed. Every nucleated cell is sexed. There are thousands of differences in the anatomy and physiology of human males and females.

When doing an online search, adding the "biological" to the word sex tells the search engine which meaning of the word is being referred to.

No one is denying that "sex" has the meaning you say it has. We are disagreeing with your contention that this is the only meaning the word has.

All you have to do to prove me wrong is post an excerpt from a biology book demonstrating what you're talking about.

Notice how you don't have to add anything to the word 'sex' for the search engine to know that you're talking about sexual intercourse.

Both gender & sex have two different meanings, but there is a hierarchy of meaning, practically no one even knows gender's second meaning (masculinity & femininity). Type sex into the news tab on Google. Why bother holding onto the lesser known meanings, when it only makes feminist discourse less accessible & has zero benefits?
