Le Bureau de la traduction déconseille l'usage du terme «genre» comme équivalent de «gender» lorsqu'il est question des différences et des relations sociales entre hommes et femmes. Pour rendre la construction adjectivale du terme «gender», le Bureau recommande, selon le contexte, l'usage de locutions telles que «hommes et femmes», «masculin et féminin» ou bien d'apporter des solutions au cas par cas. 3, record 1, French, - proportion%20hommes%2Dfemmes
