Gender is one of a few things, depending on which definition you want to use.

Yes, there are multiple definitions. Yes, one of them refers to social norms and conventions. But yes, one of them also explicitly refers to sexes. Literally everyone in this thread is correct except for the fact that they can't agree on which definition we're talking about.

I actually don't think the last sentence is accurate. What I see is one group that agrees there are multiple definitions depending on context while another stalwartly tries to say that gender has forever and only ever will refer to sexes. 

Really? I mostly see three groups. One the understands it's a nuanced word with multiple meanings, and two that yell about how it's biological or societal.
