Is it OK to use phrases like “same-sex” or “opposite sex”?

0

It is better to use terms that do not promote sex or gender as opposites to avoid polarisation. For example, sexual behaviour might be accurately described as heterosexual, gay, lesbian or bisexual but terms that promote a view that male and female are opposite to each other or that heterosexual people are opposite to homosexual people are unhelpful.
