Gender vs. sex[]

I was wondering if for some of the pages if we should change gender to sex. I have taken a social justice class and they are different terms in English (Japanese I understand lack of distinct difference). Sex (other than the term used in law) refers to biological makeup while gender is based on social constructs or behavior. I don’t like how Viz misused “gender” in the latest chapter, especially with modern understanding of the LGBT community. I was also wonder if this can be applied to pages like the Horu Horu no Mi page. OishiLover75 (talk) 13:35, October 19, 2022 (UTC)

This is not the place for this discussion. The technique Doc Q used is called "Feminization Disease" so it turns the target to females. We can speculate the effect on a female target, but that is against wiki rules so we are left with nothing. The only use of the word "gender" is in the trivia section with the comparison to the Horu Horu no Mi so this question should go there if at all. Rhavkin (talk) 12:42, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
