In my previous surveys, I always use variable "gender" but only with two options: male or female.

I use this variable just for sample description, results are not under the impact of this variable.

What the future and society will bring, we will see...

Excellent explanation, Dr. Jelena Lukić .

It would depend on the type of data available. If respondents declare their gender as other than male or female, for example, trangendered, then that could be treated as an additional category.

In my research I used the word sex to distinguish between males and females.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and insights: Drs. Srini Vasan , and Zainab A Makawi .

According to my belief, the use of the term sex is preferable.

There is no difference between them , we can use any one of them according to the data type we treat with.

I always use (sex) as one of the demographic characteristics of subjects enrolled in my studies.

Under case stude

For me, I believe "sex" is more appropriate.

In Russia term "sex" using for biological reality description, but "gender", as rule, it is self identification, those this is social characteristic.

I used a word "Gender" to distinguish between males and females in nursing science. However, I did not know the meaning difference between sex and gender. Thank you for Gulzar Shah

Mostly Gender is used in research trials.

The "sex" is more appropriate.

Yes, I care about the gender variable in my research

I use both Sex and Gender (as two separate variables), and I would add that biological sex in humans has more than two categories - some people are intersex or otherwise do not fit in the male or female category. Studies that only offer 2 categories force some people to select a category that does not apply to them, and render their unique experiences invisible.

Excellent points, Roni Wiener .

Interesting question Dr Gulzar..I have always used gender as a variable in my studies with categories male and female.. I have been thinking of adding a third category -Transgender too in near future in my studies.. But ur question makes me wonder should i use the variable gender or sex if i use the above three categories 🤔
