This is a term paper question that i want to help my classmate. He's studying culture studies in Gender
Suggest a situation in everyday life in which you are asked to declare your sex/gender.
Analyze the reasoning behind and assess the actual usefulness and "real" function of the distinction.

Gender refers to language. It is the politically correct way of saying sex.
People are not of a particular gender, they are of one sex, or another. Gender refers to how a word is differentiated in a language.
I hate this misuse of language!

For certain jobs gender does make a difference, weather it is strength that is required or body searching individuals in a prison/security environment. Certain facilities ie., toilets, wash rooms etc., are only shared by different sexes.
Any and all job applications in USA requires the applicant to state their gender. It also serves as a means of identification. Medical needs are not the same for all genders. Ladies washroom lounges always have more facilities than men's rooms.

the distinction is obvious in terms of our appearance.
so the term itself would be useful more on paper
like most other variables it is just a way of defining ones gender.

We are asked everyday when we use a public bathroom. Its to really keep girls away from bays who "cant control their natural urges to have sex"
