Gender is a range of characteristics of femininity, masculinity and others described as third gender. Depending on the context, the describing characteristics vary from sex to social roles (gender roles) to gender identity. The academic interdisciplinary field gender studies focuses on gender. Sexologist John Money introduced the terminological distinction between biological sex and gender as a role in 1955. Before his work, it was uncommon to use the word "gender" to refer to anything but grammatical categories. However, Money's meaning of the word did not become widespread until the 1970s, when feminist theory embraced the distinction between biological sex and the social construct of gender. Today, the distinction is strictly followed in some contexts, like medicine,social sciences, feminist literature, documents written by organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), and in some dictionaries, but in many contexts, even in some areas of social sciences, the meaning of gender has expanded to include "sex" or even to replace the latter word. Although this gradual change in the meaning of gender can be traced to the 1980s, a small acceleration of the process in the scientific literature was observed when the Food and Drug Administration started to use "gender" instead of "sex" in 1993. "Gender" is now commonly used even to refer to the physiology of non-human animals, without any implication of social gender roles.
I wish I was infinite and given my way
I'd be so fucking cool
When I'm feeling the rush
I look at you through different eyes
I never knew my thoughts televise what you think
I'm the twin inside you
It's hard to believe what you say
Unaccepting what you've tried to show us
And nothing can fix what's incomplete
Can't get to us
Never get to us
And nothing can fix what's incomplete
Can't get to us
Never get to us
Refreshing your memories of times we've known
Constantly stumbling over reason
Where do these words go now so true
Covering no one else but you devour every modern day
It's hard to believe what you say
Unaccepting what you've tried to show us
And nothing can fix what's incomplete
Can't get to us
Never get to us
And nothing can fix what's incomplete
Can't get to us
Never get to us
Fell away in my dizziness I'm blinding
I wish I was obedient aren't I something
I'll never be rational I'm finding
My way to everyone in this velvet sky of mine
Boredom does nothing for me so why does it follow
Walking with deadbeats down the street i want everything
I'll be your idol Be your maker your everything
Your dirty dream designer
