You are the second person today I explain the etymological fallacy to on this platform. While the origin of the word gender is in regard to words (at least in English, the etymology goes back to meaning something like category), it long since refers to people and not only words. Believe it or not but words change their meanings.
Gender is just a grammar thing anyways.
I have no problem with ditching the grammar rule as a synonym for sex.
So from now on men and women should really only refer to sex, and that’s fine. People don’t have genders anyways, words do.
