Also, gender is binary, there are only two of them, this is non-negotiable.
It's kind of a losing battle at this point, but even using "gender" is a bit of a concession. There aren't two genders (when talking about people), there are zero. There are two sexes. Again, though, losing battle, moot point, all that. Your point stands, and I agree.
I can't believe I'm taking a fucking TERF position but here we are lol.
Alright, this correction is tad more serious. Don't concede that ground to them. That's not a TERF (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist) argument. Well, okay, it's one they would agree with, but it's not exclusively their argument. It's the argument of anyone who can see reality on this topic. Saying that biology is real is not a "TERF argument" and, if it is, we're all fucking doomed so who gives a fuck?
Again, just because TERFs might agree with you accurately describing reality does not mean your argument is "TERF."
Sorry to be pedantic, but I do think especially the second point is quite important.
A lot of languages never had the words sex and gender. There was only ever the equivalent to the word sex so they made up a new word that basically translates to "sex identity". So they are still enforcing the binary truth but don't really get it.

TERF is just a term feminists came up with to shame other feminists. Nobody should care about that term
