Because short people can be lanky, but cannot be tall. 

There ARE instances - sanguine and carefree, for example. Get and acquire. But they have historical explanations - having to do with the norman conquest. 

Sex and gender, not so much.
 
Note, too, that tall people can be the opposite of lanky. They can be tall and corpulent. Tall and pudgy. Tall and lanky are two different words for the same reason that sex and gender are two different words: they mean different things.

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
