If you polled Americans, I think most of them believe that "gender" is a more official synonym of "sex." The concept of gender as a social construct is too abstract for most people outside of brainwashed zoomers.
The intentional confusion is suuuuper obvious once you recall the decades of education around "gender roles." They already had a term for "socially constructed gender" but they jettisoned it because it prevented them from playing these power games via linguistic obfuscation.

This is absolutely the case, and leftists are not innocent in this confusion. They actively foster it so that they can agitate from the murky margins.
