It's not helping decide what we should do on the wiki, and it's not helping get a discussion going about the difference between the words. My argument from above is a much better one:

The sex and gender distinction is not universal. In ordinary speech,  sex and  gender are often used interchangeably. Are you calling us ordinary? :P ;)

Nah but jokes aside --

How about this, let me ask this:

Aside from the extra work (which, come to think of it, I'm rather sure it could be done with a bot, no...? I'm no expert, but it seems simple enough... :o), what are the negatives? Would anyone actually be angry about us calling it "sex" instead of "gender"? I doubt it, because for those of us who don't differentiate, it'd be the same thing, versus for those of us who do, it'd make all the difference.
