Authored by Wendy McElroy via Brownstone Institute,When and why did the word "gender" displace the word "sex?" In his book The Man Who Invented Gender, Terry Goldie claims that the sexologist John Money of Johns Hopkins Medical Center (Baltimore) first used the word "gender" in its modern meaning in 1955. In 1993, for instance, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) replaced "sex" with "gender" in its literature. But the most important purpose of swapping in the word "gender" is to introduce a subtle but powerful bias that controls the narrative; it creates Genderspeak. The concept and the word "gender" should be abandoned by people who respect either accuracy or truth.
