No you did not.

Sex is a parameter of biology, gender is a parameter of social constructs.

You are also having bare assertions that they are the same. Gametes are not relevant. You are unable to discern between different values.

Also stop bringing up the Nobel prize like it matters for the conversation. You are the one who interjected it into the conversation.

Edit: added after the post. To make sure I am not speaking to a bot, can you tell me who the first person in this thread was that mentioned the word “gamete”

Do grow up.

> Sex is a parameter of biology, gender is a parameter of social constructs.

So you assert, but until you can show the moment that gender was shown to be different from sex beyond bare assertion then I'm not willing to accept your assertion. Do you see how that works?

> Gametes are not relevant.

They are relevant to sex determination and hence gender, see previous paragraph for why.

That's all your points, if they can be called that, addressed.

> Also stop bringing up the Nobel prize like it matters for the conversation.

You'll need to provide something that can be competitive for it to have any impact <shrug>. I won't hold my breath.

I've yet to see a definition of gender that isn't based on restrictive and harmful sex stereotypes, or is circular and empty. It's not a helpful concept.
