"Gender/sex is real" is not a punchline. It's the kind of thing an audience is meant to applaud, not laugh at. Are you telling me you didn't know that?

How is it PC to say "gender" when referring to the sexes? Is it PC to say "gender reveal party" too? You're failing to recognise that regular people say "gender" to mean the same thing that you mean when you say "sex".

Anyway, since you don't know why Chappelle said "gender" when he was obviously talking about biology, then you'll just have to trust me when I say that "gender" is what regular people use as an umbrella term for the sexes.

Are you for real, dude? Did you forget our long discussion in which you stated that feminist are shooting themselves in the foot by using the word because it's not child-friendly, that English speakers don't learn the word sex may not refer to sexual act until adulthood? After all what you say, now you are telling me that using the word "gender" as an euphemism for sex is not political correctness? Seriously? If this is not about PC then there shouldn't be so much reluctance to say the word sex.
