Gonamorph is a noun meaning a person’s biological reproductive form, especially male or female. It is proposed as a clearer replacement for using “sex” in contexts where “sex” may sound
awkward because it can also refer to sexual activity, and as a more biologically precise alternative to “
gender,” which now often refers to identity, expression, or social role.
The word is built from gona-, relating to generation or reproduction, and -morph, meaning form or shape.
Simple
definition:
Gonamorph = biological reproductive form: male or female.

Example 3:

Example 4:

gender because she wants a noun that clearly refers to
biology.”
