Biology, in the form of reproduction, is the reason gender came to exist in the first place! When you're talking about any species other than humans, gender begins and ends with biology. I get that the concept, at least in humans, has moved beyond the biological, but it's ridiculous to say that it "has nothing to do with biology." That's taking the issue out of the realm of fact and into the realm of belief and mythology. Mind you, I'm not suggesting that a person's gender needs to be constrained by his biology, but to say the two are unrelated is preposterous.Also, "they" is plural. You can use it all you want to as a singular pronoun, I certainly won't try to stop you, but don't presume to "fix" my sentence by breaking its grammar.</blockquote>
