Oh these are the kinds of questions I encourage. It gets people thinking rather than deciding that one term or another is automatically bad.
I actually like the idea of a continuum for both sex and gender. It takes all possibilities into account without making any one option seem better or worse than any other.
By gender I tend to mean the internal feeling of being male, female, both, neither, other, etc. Sex I use to mean physical characteristics that may or may not have been medically altered (so transmen who haven't had any form of medical transition would be female, transmen who've started t/had top/etc would be FtM). Meaning a person could be genderqueer and ftm, female and female, genderless and male, or any number of other options.
