Help[Facts] Re: I'm not trying to be picky, but the word is *gender* (nt)
in reply to a message by Ivayla
No. Human beings and many other animals are divided into two _sexes_, not two "genders".
_Languages_ may divide their nouns (and names) into several genders, e.g. neutrum, reale, masculinum, femininum. These features refer, however, to _words-as-such_ (world-3 objects), not to _persons_ (world-1 objects).
Thus: 'sex of a person' and 'gender of a name'. (not '"gender" of a person'.)
