Reminder to never cede territory whenever possible. Gender has always meant sex. To say otherwise is simply incorrect. If somebody says "gender does not exist" then they ignore when it did have a real meaning.
Yes, disregard all new redefinitions, don't cede any ground to the adherents of Dr Money's monstrous lies.
You mean Dr. Money the pedophile?
Yep, I used to make the mistake of letting them redefine 'gender' mean 'the sex of my brain' - in essence 'the way my brain thinks'.
Then they kept pushing things to places I wasn't willing to go, and I now realize that 'gender' was just the thin end of a wedge of nonsense. We already have a word for 'the way my brain thinks', and that word is 'personality'.
I got a hearty chuckle out of 4chan's /lgbt/ board yesterday, a hive of fags and troons, but at least they're candid there, unlike how they are on the rest of the internet. The source of my amusement? A post stating (paraphrased from memory);
"Daily reminder that Kiwi Farms is a forum dedicated to snarky gossip and rumours, making the average Kiwi Farms shitlord more fem-brained than you will ever be."
See, I've always interpreted gender to be the percentage of maleness/femaleness if that makes sense. Like sex is definitive man/woman, but you can very easily argue that some women act more "feminine" than others and some men act more "masculine". The whole lgb thing I strongly disagree with though.
Gender is a grammatical concept that tells us what types of words are used in what context. His/hers, male/female, and gendered nouns in languages that have them.
For sure some men are effeminate and some women are manly. No matter how masculine or feminine a male or female acts, the language we use to describe them is based on their sex and does not change - unless commies try to change it for social engineering.
I assume he meant "gender identity".
