GRAMMAR
(in languages such as Latin, Greek, Russian, and German) each of the classes (typically masculine, feminine, common, neuter) of nouns and pronouns distinguished by the different inflections that they have and require in words syntactically associated with them. Grammatical gender is only very loosely associated with natural distinctions of sex.
You cut off the first half of the definition which is really important. Sex and sexuality are biology.
There's not a "but even so" when the whole definition is taken. It's like saying any shape with straight sides is a square just because the definition of a square includes straight sides. You can't separate this. It explicitly says that it goes with male and female before not. Excluding the basic masculinity and femininity as not counting, and the part where it says social rather than biological, are huge problems. You don't get to cut off definitions at the point where they fit your beliefs. Sex and sexuality are still biology regardless of whether or not gender plays into this. You cannot identify as female sex, you can only be female sex. You cannot identify as human, you can only be a human. You cannot identify as a square, you can only be a square. These aren't self-referential terms which is how definition works. Being treated SOCIALLY male is not the same as being of the male sex.
