There is a nice article about that difference on wikipedia too:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender
This difference was also mentioned in [1] and that was the reason for my
decision to take sex as part of the key.
Perhaps it's unusual for some people to use that word because it sounds
very offensive.
At least my choice wasn't wrong and I'm glad you posted that definition
so clear and unambiguous.
Best Regards
David
