If it's a choice between "gender" and "sex", I always prefer sex. 2014 MY Discovery XS Indus Silver. Sadly gone. Second last LR of forty eight years continuous ownership.

Well they say kinetic, too, when they mean “shoot the living out of people”. A few years back it was popular to say “BTKP” as an acronym for breaking things and killing people.
Plenty of euphemisms in that line of business to not scare the sheeple.

Like the way ‘mankind’ has been replaced by ‘humankind’. Er, doesn’t that contain the same, nasty, gender stereotyping, non-inclusive word; ‘M-A-N’

Soon they’ll make a new audio track for the moon landing.....?
What about hu-man, wo-man?
MAN trucks?
Sometimes too much PC is very disconcerting. Like man... humankind doesn’t have other issues to solve.

Human comes from the Latin for man, of course. Better to use the genus name of Homo (as we're the only member of the genus still in existence). So we're all Homo... Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

Well that escalated quickly
To keep it even a bit on topic, homologation is another name to certify vehicle compliance.
