género: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que en sociología, tal como aclara el "Diccionario panhispánico de dudas", el vocablo "género" tiene el significado de "categoría sociocultural que implica diferencias o desigualdades de índole social, económica, política, laboral, etc.", un sentido que en el ámbito de los estudios sociológicos puede resultar útil e, incluso, necesario. [...] No es incorrecto, por tanto, hablar de "violencia de género", "estudios de género" o "identidad de género", pero se recomienda restringir su uso a los estudios sociológicos. 3, record 3, Spanish, - trastorno%20de%20identidad%20de%20g%C3%A9nero
