Except they are not.

Sex refers to the phenotype resulting from your sex-chromosomes. Gender is a personality thing that is perhaps affected by your sex, but otherwise completely separate from it.

Yes, and there-in lies the confusion. Two different concepts that for historic reasons have the same word applied to them. Gender originally was a synonym for sex, than psychology defined a concept related to the sense of self, separate from sex and called it gender.

It is like the confusion between state marriage and religious marriage, they are two separate things that may resemble eachother, but due to word confusion people tend to get all up in arms when changes to one are made, thinking changes are also made to the other.
