Well, since there is just one word in German for sex and gender, it’s the same thing here, some people try to use the English word gender (untranslated) here.
But I simply don’t understand why this is needed. It’s getting so mixed up and complicated, but at the same time it barely has any relevance. Because what does it add to society, dialogue or communication?
German is a very precise language, and I don’t understand why some people try to soften it up with the English term of gender. It’s so weird.
I’m pretty sure alot of people use it interchangeably to mean the same thing. But I think over the years, gender has become more of a “social” word and Sex as more of a “biological” word. I say Gender instead of sex when talking about someone’s biology. A bit confusing honestly for non-native English speakers
Yes, it’s confusing.
I think I somewhat have an understanding of what the term “gender” refers to, it at the same time it is so untranscribable and somewhat extremely vague.
Race is a biologically misleading term. There is just one human race alive on this planet and it’s called Homo sapiens sapiens.
What English speakers are referring to as race is actually ethnicity.
The genetic variations between humans from different continents is far too little to make out different races.
There are no clear borders between one “race” to another.
As an English speaker, trust me you don’t wanna know. Don’t dive into it

Why? It’s the same thing as race.
No it cannot be.

You missed the point. Race is a social construct, as is gender
