There's a great ROK article by Max Roscoe here that goes into the origins of the word "gender" and the scumbag that coined and promoted the term, John Money.
Gender Schema Theory as Paracelsus correctly points out is when the change of semantics really started gaining ground in the public consciousness. The "gender is a social construct" idea can defintely be traced back to this.
This was and still is heavily promoted by feminists and college students who apparantly have no issue with John Money and his behaviour. College students probably don't know the origins of the term they so vociferously advocate, even though a quick google search would give them that.
Then again, I wonder what difference that would make since these people essentially think that putting plastic bunny ears on a dog would make him a rabbit.
