Fuck them. We have to hold ourselves to an objective standard, and words have definitions. If we use wrong words, we can only ever be wrong about what they say.
It's a synonym, and the word has been around just as long or even longer (1300-1400 for gender vs. 1350-1400 for sex). The broader and more archaic definition of gender is "kind, sort, or class."
Even Google admits there are only two genders. This is the first search result under "define gender":
Gender is for language. Sex is for biology. They are not and have never been synonyms. I don’t give a shit what a jewish website has to say about it.
It's not Google, it's the English language. Blame the English.
Gender = sex. And there are only two, regardless of which word you choose to use.
The reason people used to prefer "gender" over "sex" is you might confuse sex the gender with sex the action (ie. copulation) in certain situations. It's more precise language of the same exact thing.

either of the two sexes (male and female)...
