I wasn't us...I understand the distinction fine. I wasn't using the word that way, and my intended meaning was completely clear.<br /><br />A few points before I never speak to you again.<br /><br />1) The context from the outset was gender as chromosomal sex. Any confusion is either inept or disingenuous. Can't be the former, cos you are not sufficiently humble.<br /><br />2) We are not professional psychometricians, and if you are you should be aware that this is not a symposium. Lay definitions are quite appropriate in the comments section of a non-specialist blog.<br /><br />3) Even if this were an academic or professional forum, you might very well hear the term gender used to refer to biological sex.<br /><br />"Since then [1950s], the use of gender has tended to expand to encompass the biological, and the sex/gender distinction is now only fitfully observed."<br /><br />from the abstract of http://oebweb-prd.oeb.harvard.edu/faculty/haig/Publications_files/04InexorableRise.pdf<br /><br />4) Not only is it obvious that you are wrong about this in every important way, this point is really incredibly boring. Why are you pursuing it? Assuming you aren't trolling, we had a misunderstanding; fine. Now that it's cleared up, why keep on being a dick about it?<br /><br />5) Therefore, you are a troll.<br /><br />Please produce a list of your pseudonyms so that I may know which ones to ignore.<br /><br />(I am assuming that Thersites and FJ [and speedy?] are one person).jezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14865247084509280406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-72865504839768498092012-09-08T06:36:06.556-06:002012-09-08T06:36:06.556-06:00Maybe this will help ypu.Maybe <a href="http://www.med.monash.edu.au/gendermed/difference.html" rel="nofollow"> this</a> will help ypu.Thersiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751286903359745316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-78480684265635754122012-09-08T05:34:12.013-06:002012-09-08T05:34:12.013-06:00Sorry, but the sex-gender distonction quoted is th...Sorry, but the sex-gender distonction quoted is the position taken by pofessional psychometricians.

SOCRATES: Nor can we ...Plato, "Cratylus"<br /><br /><i>SOCRATES: Nor can we reasonably say, Cratylus, that there is knowledge at all, if everything is in a state of transition and there is nothing abiding; for knowledge too cannot continue to be knowledge unless continuing always to abide and exist. But if the very nature of knowledge changes, at the time when the change occurs there will be no knowledge; and if the transition is always going on, there will always be no knowledge, and, according to this view, there will be no one to know and nothing to be known: but if that which knows and that which is known exists ever, and the beautiful and the good and every other thing also exist, then I do not think that they can resemble a process or flux, as we were just now supposing. Whether there is this eternal nature in things, or whether the truth is what Heracleitus and his followers and many others say, is a question hard to determine; <b>and no man of sense will like to put himself or the education of his mind in the power of names: neither will he so far trust names or the givers of names as to be confident in any knowledge which condemns himself and other existences to an unhealthy state of unreality</b>; he will not believe that all things leak like a pot, or imagine that the world is a man who has a running at the nose. This may be true, Cratylus, but is also very likely to be untrue; and therefore I would not have you be too easily persuaded of it. Reflect well and like a man, and do not easily accept such a doctrine; for you are young and of an age to learn. And when you have found the truth, come and tell me.<br /><br />CRATYLUS: I will do as you say, though I can assure you, Socrates, that I have been considering the matter already, and the result of a great deal of trouble and consideration is that I incline to Heracleitus.<br /><br />SOCRATES: Then, another day, my friend, when you come back, you shall give me a lesson; but at present, go into the country, as you are intending, and Hermogenes shall set you on your way.<br /><br />CRATYLUS: Very good, Socrates; I hope, however, that you will continue to think about these things yourself.</i>Thersiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751286903359745316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-27903486034266012922012-09-07T09:57:59.436-06:002012-09-07T09:57:59.436-06:00Who's trolling?
