No and it doesn't disprove me. It simply places a revised
definition above the original. Wikipedia also confirms what:
<< Sexologist John Money introduced the terminological
distinction between biological sex and gender as a
role in 1955. Before his work, it was uncommon to use
the word gender to refer to anything but grammatical
categories. However, Money's meaning of the word did
not become widespread until the 1970s, when feminist
theory embraced the concept of a distinction between
biological sex and the social construct of gender.
Today the distinction is strictly followed in some
contexts, especially the social sciences and
documents written by the World Health Organization
(WHO). >>
