For example, drivers licenses show full name, date of birth, height, weight, present address and "Sex" with the options of 'Male' or 'Female'. Occurs to my linguistic funny bone that the correct word would be "Gender". Right? Right.

Ha,

Sex is annotated as different from gender in the Oxford English Dictionary where it says sex "tends now to refer to biological differences, while . . . [gender] often refers to cultural or social ones."
