This was just barely starting back when I was in school. The original justification was "sex is what's in the pants, gender is what you LARP as". But, of course, it's really just a 1984-style word game.

If you constantly change the language, you can say that words mean whatever you want. Otherwise people give them their own meaning. For example, schools keep coming up with new euphemisms for "retarded", because people realize that being retarded is undesirable and use it as an insult. And they have to come up with new meanings for "sex" and "gender" if they want to say that what's in your pants doesn't matter.

All these new meanings also make it easier to tell who's the most brainwashed idiot with nothing better to do than memorize your word salad.
