I’m so right there with you. I’m getting pretty tired of this “gender is harmful” nonsense. Yes, let’s get rid of negative stereotypes about gender. But we don’t need to get rid of gender all together. There are things that I, as a biological female, will and have experienced that no man or trans woman will ever…

It will continue to cause various institutional problems. Financial, schools, various government agencies are all unequipped to handle. This is treading into anti-vax territory.

Overlooked the link but thanks for the snark!

That’s nature. Animals attack and kill other animals. Get over it.

Watch out I once got into an argument with a guy wearing a skirt in my Feminist Theory class in college while reading Judith Butler’s “Gender Trouble” about this.

Not physically but potentially mentally.

all birth certificates are non-gender specific.

ALL OF THEM.

they list sex. stop purposefully conflating the two to make points.

But like...how weird. Why is it such a secret? What if the kid, like most kids, doesn’t take issue with the fact of her femaleness or his maleness?

Yes! Thank you! And besides from, you know, biological facts, this is a clear case of a parent forcing their viewpoint on a child long before the child is able to decide anything for him or herself.

That’s stupid.

No gender assigned for clearly physically non-binary childen? Awesome! Far, far better than decades of infant “random” reassignment surgery.

Yeah I thought BC’s listed “Sex” not gender. We all understand the distinction by now... This fight seems out of place. You either have one set of goods, or the other, or a rare mix

This. Sex and gender are two different things. It’s also relevant for things like statistics. Honestly, this is just silly.

Seems odd to not identify what kind of body the child was born with.

I get where he’s coming from. If there’s one thing Russians hate it’s unfairly trying to dictate the outcome of what should be a impartial process.
