My request is that lujvo for gender identities should replace words meaning biological sex in casual conversation since it will come up. Can that happen? Does anybody else see this as something that should happen?


I don't think it should.  But it's always an option for individuals.  
How do you know the mental gender identity of a given person?  How often does it not correspond with a person's biological gender, assuming that to be a simple male/female dichotomy?
