I saw a survey recently asking what people understood about the meaning of the word "gender" and over 80% of people said they saw and use it as a synonym for "sex", nothing more. The idea of gender as either a social construct or an internal identity are jargon usages from various academic theories and not general usage. If you only want to be able to converse with rad fems or trans people then keep repeating "sex not gender" but if you want to be able to talk to normal people about this suff you need to be less dogmatic.

It's still considered a neologism.
