SAYING S*X AND GENDER ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS IS LIKE SAYING I'M FAT BUT I IDENTIFY AS BEING OBESE; ALSO SINCE THE BIRTH OF FORM FILLING, NOBODY WAS EVER CONFUSED AS TO (1) WHY IT WAS ASKING FOR YOUR GENDER OR S*X...BUT NOT BOTH...OR (2) WHY IT ONLY EVER OFFERED 'MALE' OR 'FEMALE' AS OPTIONS. THAT'S BECAUSE (1) ARE COMPLETELY INTERCHANGEABLE TERMS AND (2) THOSE ARE THE ONLY CHOICES THAT EXIST
