Are Buttocks Organ?

I read Greg Laden’s “The Buttocks is not an excretory organ“, and I gave it a deep thought. Honestly, I was confused. Are buttocks organ?

The agency said the show was indecent because “it depicts sexual organs and excretory organs — specifically an adult woman’s buttocks.”

The agency rejected the network’s argument that “the buttocks are not a sexual organ.”

I messaged my friend asking this question. She told me that anus is an organ, for sure. I said anus is not the thing I was asking, I asked about B-U-T-T-O-C-K-S. Then she gave up, and emphasized that anus is an organ.

I checked the meaning of buttocks from thefreedictionary.com.

but·tock (n.)
1.
a. Either of the two rounded prominences on the human torso that are posterior to the hips and formed by the gluteal muscles and underlying structures.
b. The analogous part of the body on certain mammals.
2. buttocks The rear pelvic area of the human body.

In biology, organ means group of tissues that perform specific function(s). Functions of buttock? Sit, smack, and reduce momentum.

So pelvis meat, fat and muscle are part of the organ? I never remember I learnt that buttocks are organ.
