Gender Blurring
The classic definition of gender is no longer considered a correct definition in our day. In the past, the word was used technically to differentiate between men and women. In this it was a synonym to the word sex. However, in the English language the word sex began to have an erotic connotation, thus it became common to use the word gender in polite discourse. For example, a form would request the information:
Gender:   ___ Male ___ Female
No longer is this the case. Now, the common definition of the word is: “either of the two sexes (male and female), especially when considered with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones. The term is also used more broadly to denote a range of identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male and female.
