it is not fact edit
it should be added that Gender and sex being different is not fact but it is actually opinion 163.232.0.8 (talk) 02:36, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
- Please provide sources for any change you wish to make, source sufficient to establish that what our article currently says is not an accurate summation of existing views, and their relative weight of acceptance. Nil Einne (talk) 10:00, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
- That is TRUE. It IS simply an opinion.
- Formed, and backed up by pseudo-scientists and activists.
- This video shows that the man who stated "gender is a social construct" MADE IT UP:

- The meaning of every single word in the dictionary is a social construct. That's true for words like gender and sex, exactly like it's true for words like car and truck. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:41, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- True, and sex and gender were made up to mean THE SAME THING!! 92.9.207.69 (talk) 21:06, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

(The first sentence in the third paragraph should state…) “Though sex and gender have been used interchangeably at least as early as the fourteenth century, this usage was not common by the late 1900s.” (*1800s is a typo-please fix) (John Money began his social science in the mid 1990’s. The conceptualization of the word Gender did not change until the late 1900s, NOT the late 1800s) 184.97.75.129 (talk) 14:00, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Suggested edit under “Biologists” edit
Gorelick et al, in the Biological Journal of the Linnaean Society, find no universal differences between males and females: https://academic.oup.com/biolinnean/article/120/1/1/2864987
This would appear to undermine the cited claim from Majerus that gamete size is the only universal difference. 2A00:23C6:8A05:B001:A845:2054:6D3E:A2BA (talk) 13:44, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
