This is an “either I’m stupid or everybody else” moment and I let you decide on your own.
Words don’t have inherent meaning but get meaning by the people who use it in the context they do. It’s an collective and context sensitive process. I remember how in one linguistics lecture (typology), we differentiated prepositions from postpositions whereas the syntax prof was like “I don’t care if the preposition is before or after”.
Also: Judith Butler discusses your gamete definition as utterly irrelevant in this context in Who’s Afraid Of Gender so it’s not that they aren’t aware. That’s all the hint I give you.
