When I was younger, or not even that long ago, I'm sure people referred to finding out the sex of a baby.

Now everyone always says gender.
1. Is this true or am I miss remembering.
2. Why would people now use gender, when my understanding is the general progressive view is gender is a societal construct, where as sex is xx vs xy. So isn't "sex" even more appropriate now than before?
Cheers.

I'm blaming Americans.

I'll take that.

Will now start getting on my high horse saying it's a neuro-linguistic programming move introduced by the Christian Right in the States to reinforce gender norms.
