Gender is biological not social

I'm extremely sorry if I was unclear about my statement that it is "pointless to distinguish sex from gender. " What I intended that phrase to mean was that by universally making it know that sex and gender are different and shouldn't be used interchangeably, The consequences will not necessarily be at all positive. Allow me to elaborate: I do agree that "gender" has been used in terms of "masculinity and "femininity" but the point I would like to make is that it should not be, And instead be synonymous with the "sex. " I do understand that gender was used in terms of gender stereotypes, And I don't believe that things like colour preferences are biological. What I don't agree on is the need for the term "gender" at all if I think just refers to terms of masculinity and feminity (and non-binary. ) What need is there in society for a word that just refers to that? If gender was used in terms of masculinity and femininity as it may have been originally intended to be used, Than we would be calling effeminate males (by sex) females (by gender. ) This in itself can be extremely negative for their own mental health. All of this also begs to ask the question, Where is gender needed and where is sex needed? Is gender something you refer to a person as? Because if so than every person would be judged on their levels of masculinity and femininity, Reinforcing gender (or sexual? ) stereotypes. These stereotypes are the same stereotypes that lead to things like mental illness and suicide. That rates of transgender individuals are the highest in the world. These are the people who changed their gender, Because they weren't told "you don't have to be athletic to be a male" and the weren't told "you don't have to where dresses to be female. " These are the people that felt that their inability to fit into gender stereotypes of their natural sex meant that they shouldn't identify as such. I call myself a male, And I wish others to call me a male, Because I am biologically a male. According to the concept of "gender" I wouldn't be so. So do I get people to call me my biological sex or my gender? Is it either? If so, We can't have a working system that doesn't apply to everyone. In medical documents I assume it would be the sex. On legal documents I assume everyone except for non-binary or trans individuals would put their sex. Does this word "gender" have any actual practical use in today's modern day society? I do believe that gender stereotypes should be abolished, And that a man can wear a dress and be effeminate and they shouldn't be bullied for it. The same way I believe that a woman should be able to have short hair, Wear shorts and a shirt shouldn't be bullied for that either but having a system based on the "gender" you defined wouldn't stop or slow bullying of people who are different, But instead increase such behaviour. If everyone was judged on how masculine and feminine they were people would be bullied at much higher rates. This would, Of course, Lead to a rise of suicide. Instead of defining gender in social terms, It should be purely biological. That way people can be who they are without being bullied into changing, Then being bullied for changing. This would surely reduce suicide rates, Depression rates, And the like. We should stop separating gender from sex, And instead work on abolishing gender stereotypes and helping those who don't fit into them feel just as much a male or female as others of their sex/gender.
