Gender≠Sex

"We could define two colours: Reds are all wavelengths longer than 600nm Blues are all that are 600nm or shorter.

Or we take the amplitude of the intensity of light and sort it from brightest to dimmest.

We could go by genetics. Then we only have a handful of colours (blue, red and green)

What I am saying is: we've already defined what it is and the discussion is very simple. By all definitions, colour means different things to different people and by trying to fit them all in a predefined box all you're doing is limiting yourself to seeing only in black and white."

Yep! I agree. And I believe the whole discussion is unnecessary in most cases.

There are some instances where it is important.

Do you cut the red or the blue wire when defusing a bomb (a clear definition is mandatory!)

Who can participate in the women’s sport competition and who in the men’s (this conversation should be done by the people who are actually doing the sport, not by me!)

Should I as a boss apply a gender pay gap to you or not?
