Please help educate a poor old geezer. Some of us are working to establish an open standard for data interchange in athletics.
If I have a file format or database field with "M" or "F" in it (start lists, results etc), should it be called "sex" or "gender"?
And no, I am not interested at this stage in all the alternative codes and exceptions one might need, nor in how to annotate CAS decisions (I just hope that 26 letters is sufficient...). Just the field name.
Let the flames begin...
I personally think this should not cause anyone problems. To answer your question, "sex" remains undisputed.
I like sex.

True. The answer is obviously "yes, please."
When I go to a doctor this field on forms is called "sex". My doctor provides five options for the "sex" field.
No, you use gender unless you are a bigot. Don't listen to these Trump zombies.

Fluid mechanics is sexist! I'm fed up with the patriarchic strictures of Cartesian rheometry. No doubt ivy leaguers Shannon rubbery and Holy Spirit Dartmouth d'agostino are tellingly silent on this issue!!! Jenny Simpson talks a big talk but is nowhere on the radar of turbulence democratization. What Madeliene Albright spoke of Hillary Clinton would be fitting for the damning non action of our fastest and smartest on the pressing oppressions of putative paternal cultural ontologies of boundary manifold theory. Enough is enough!
