Is Gender separate from Sex? ?

I've always understood "Gender" to be simply a more sophisticated word for sex. Or rather, a more social friendly word. Still, its usage is exactly the same. Am I Wrong?

"Is Gender separate from Sex? ?"

Is one's racial identity separate from their race?
Is one's personal identity separate from their person?

If you believe any of the previous to be true, for example:
-that an Asian person can identify as a Black person
-that a common working person can identify as Napoleon

...then gender is separate from sex.  This is because the way social scientists describe gender, all it means is gender identity. 

--BUT--

In all cases, anyone who does not properly identify their race, or person with the reality of their race or person-hood, will be considered to have an identity crisis which requires psychiatric help.  But sjw's and feminists and Leftists and their social scientist lackeys tell us that it is different with regards to sexual identity (gender) and sex.  Most of us smartly disagree.

One doesn't get pregnant by having gender.

It depends who you're talking to -- lots of people do use them as synonyms because they're too prudish to say the word 'sex.' They have distinct meanings, especially in feminist theory or academia. Sex is your biology (chromosomes, reproductive organs). Gender is about societal roles (women like pink, housekeeping, and makeup). Some people (conservatives) believe gender roles are biological (you are born loving pink/dresses/housekeeping). Feminism 101 says women are oppressed based on sex and the way this happens is through gender (which isn't real). Trans ideology believes sex doesn't exist and gender is biological. This is why there's a conflict over women's rights, because they want to change legal language to make "female" not a real world category based on biology but based on self-identification.

Sex used to be the physical characteristics of male vs female. Gender used to be the grammar terms for masculine, feminine, and neuter. In the past few years, people seem to want to mix the two words and then claim gender is the way a person "feels" rather than his or her sex.

Transgenders would disagree with you.

Some people think that how one acts determines their gender. As in anyone who acts in a feminine manner has a feminine gender, even if they are actually a male and anyone who acts in a masculine manner has a masculine gender. That's also where the idea of there being infinite genders comes from, since most people don't exclusively act in either of those ways, so some people believe that every person has their own unique gender that is somewhere between feminine and masculine.

However it should be noted that adding new definitions to words does not remove old definitions, which is why some words can mean different, sometimes contradictory things and why gender still also means the same thing as sex and it is still correct to use them interchangeably, even if you believe that the word also has a different definition.

Your sex is what organs you're born w/ while
gender is how you ID as a person although said
2 are often thought to have the same meaning

Sexe is about biology and "plumbing"

Gender is about how you feel every day of your life, and behaviour.

Sex is the biological reality.  Gender in anthropology and latterly social science is how a particular culture thinks it's appropriate for a sex to look, act, and think.  For most people all over the world their sex and gender line up and they conform to what their culture feels is the "right" way to be so they never experience a difference between the two.  The two terms diverged in academia almost a hundred years ago as anthropologists and ethnographers grappled with ways to describe differences that they'd never had to think about before encountering them for the first time, not just the people who cross over the gender divide or inhabit third categories, but also when traits that they thought about as "naturally" feminine or masculine were the other way round elsewhere and the hapless explorer was suddenly the weirdo in a micro-minority.
