[lojban] gender

[jongausib <so.cool.ogi@gmail.com>]

I wonder if there's a word for sex/gender in lojban?

Could you say something like "ma terganti do" and the answer is nanmu
or fetsi (or something in between) to describe the biological sex of
someone (usually defined by chromosomes, hormones, the presence of
ovary, the shape of external genitalia etc).

The sociological defined gender may be something else, but I think
{tercinse} is useful for most situations since gender is what you're
doing rather than what you are, according to for example Judith
Butler. So tercinse could probably include if you identify yourself
as, are attracted to and/or have had some sexual experience with other
males and/or females, and how feminine/masculine you are according to
some standard.

Does this makes sense?

By the way, is there any word for twins in lojban?
