That's just what I've been thinking lately. Sex exists, obviously. But gender, if understood as anything beyond a synonym, is made up nonsense.

True, gender is essentially a synonym for sex, it's only when you look at our culture obliquely that there's any use for separating sex and gender. Gender being the cultural expression biological sex takes in a society. There's no practical merit to separating sex and gender, it's only an academic abstraction.

Gender really isn't a synonym for sex, "gender" specifically relates to language, whereas sex is biological reality. "Male" and "female," "man" and " woman" aren't genders, they are sexes. Gender refers to nouns and how they relate to other words, and the most common ones in gendered languages are "masculine," "feminine," "neuter" and/or "ungendered," though I believe some languages contain others (again, though, this is LANGUAGES, not PEOPLE).

A long time ago, people decided it was impolite to use the word "sex" in gentlemanly conversation, though, so they started using the word "gender" inappropriately as a euphamism. A certain high-profile groomer who wanted to abuse children decided to use that whole "word vs euphemism" ambiguity to add a veneer of scientific legitimacy to his darker desires, and now we are having debates about "there are only two genders" versus "gender is a spectrum," and the truth is both arguments are wrong, because they're both using the word "gender" as a stand-in for sex.

There are two SEXES. There are as many GENDERS as any language cares to have. Neither of these things are a SPECTRUM, and only sex is relevant to the idea of PEOPLE.

2nd wave feminism did adopt that use of the word gender to talk about a legitimate subject ie the sex based castes. Many of those same people also went full off the rails by claiming all of gender is a social construct as if evolution played no part. When the ignorant masses looped back around with thinking sex = gender, the TRAs went full nutter and brought in the social construct element to sex.
