Don't feel bad, because the majority think that the words "gender" and "sex" are synonyms and mean COMPLETELY the same thing. There is a way in which they are synonyms, but they also mean different things.

I think this is true in the same way that "meme" is synonymous with "trope," but usually the difference is that the word "meme" is assigned when it is a picture or particular pattern of words that communicates an idea they already know is being propagated and also simultaneously is a variation on the idea that it communicates, whereas a "trope" seems to be an thing that is being propagated as a literary device, specifically to invoke all of the things associated with that thing.

Did that make sense? TVtropes probably explains the difference between the two words more simply and more understandably.
