I don't know why you're catching heat for this, gender was for objects until relatively recently, and application to humans is almost entirely the doing of the pedophile 'sexologist' 'Dr' John Money. Humans and animals have a sex, vehicles and other objects have a gender.
Accepting leftist framing leaves them room to say that sex and gender can be different, and we should be categorically rejecting that. They can't argue for that if we don't even accept the basic premise that it exists in humans.
It's funny 'cause what the average NPC typically hears when someone calls something problematic is just "it's bad". The nuance is lost on them because problems aren't there for them to solve, they're just things to complain about until someone else fixes it. So why it's a problem doesn't matter to them.
I guess relative is relative, but gender occasionally being used as a synonym for biological sex in humans was still a pre-modern thing. When you name your grammar classes masculine and feminine it's pretty natural for someone to reverse engineer that construction in their heads and start applying it back to people when they're trying to sound fancy or are squeamish about saying sex.
It's the split from biological sex into its own category of bullshit that was partly Money's depraved contribution. Which in turn lead to a vastly increased usage.
Gender doesn’t exist. Don’t use your enemies’ language.

'Problematic' too. Is it difficult? No, it's problematic. Is it inconvenient? No, it's problematic. Is it controversial? No, it's problematic.
They're trying to conflate a dozen different words with different meanings so you never quite know what they're saying.
