note: the use of the term gender to refer to the sex of an
animal, especially a person, was once common, then fell
into disuse as the term became used primarily for the
distinction of grammatical declension forms in
inflected words. in the late 1900's, the term again
became used to refer to the sex of people, as a
euphemism for the term sex, especially in discussions
of laws and policies on equal treatment of sexes.
objections by prescriptivists that the term should be
used only in a grammatical context ignored the earlier
uses.
