By the way, how would you tell the gender of a dog or a salmon?

Lol that's my opinion.....wow tore you are really going hard on this, aren't you?
I even made it easy for you to understand yet you still can't grasp it. Gender is a socially constructed thing, it is not the same as biological sex. The fact that you're even patronising me, a trans* person, on gender is absolutely laughable, because you know, you're erasing my identity which is not your right. I myself, have no gender. How is this possible? IDFK MAYBE BECAUSE GENDER IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT.
Do you know anything at all about gender identity or are you just pulling this out of your ass?
What is the difference between sex and gender?

What is the difference between sex and gender?
Sex = male and female
Gender = masculine and feminine
So in essence:
Sex refers to biological differences; chromosomes, hormonal profiles, internal and external sex organs.
Gender describes the characteristics that a society or culture delineates as masculine or feminine.
So while your sex as male or female is a biological fact that is the same in any culture, what that sex means in terms of your gender role as a 'man' or a 'woman' in society can be quite different cross culturally. These 'gender roles' have an impact on the health of the individual.
In sociological terms 'gender role' refers to the characteristics and behaviours that different cultures attribute to the sexes. What it means to be a 'real man' in any culture requires male sex plus what our various cultures define as masculine characteristics and behaviours, likewise a 'real woman' needs female sex and feminine characteristics. To summarise:
'man' = male sex+ masculine social role
(a 'real man', 'masculine' or 'manly')
'woman' = female sex + feminine social role
(a 'real woman', 'feminine' or 'womanly')

By even saying that there is no difference between gender and sex is a microaggression, so get out of here with that gross sh it.
Also pertaining to your edit: why the **** would I want to know the sex of someone who is unconscious? That is super rapey and I would not sexually assault someone out of curiosity of their sex. That's disgusting to even think about probing someone without their consent.
