What definitions are in universal use?

No definition is in universal use.

meant to say gender when he said sex

He meant to say exactly what he said, and it was incorrect. He was not using your definition of sex. He was using it in the same sense as "I had a sex change operation".

Or "Now I want to change the sex on my birth certificate". Do you also chime in to inform people it's wrong to do that?

Your definitions of sex and gender are not in universal use, and they are not the definitions used by Sunak. So his statement was not "correct", because what it meant was not correct.

it's something you mostly see among the poor.

It is, until it isn't.

And when it isn't, we should all cheer.

What did the US gain in Vietnam?

What did the USSR gain in Afghanistan?

Superpowers have a long history of leaving quagmires with their tails tucked between their legs.

The USSR and the US both backed down in Afghanistan, gaining nothing.

The US also backed down in Vietnam, gaining nothing.

Ukraine is Russia's Vietnam. They will leave Ukraine when they realize they will never gain anything by staying.

We already have a hostile response, so the golden bridge is no longer useful.

Or, as millions of people have done, you could learn to read from right to left.

¿And don't you hate how US punctuation is at the end? ¿If you read an entire sentence, but you don't even know it is a question until you're at the end, then how do you know which intonation to use? ¡English is subpar and something should be done about that!
